7.
After receiving the packet, RouterB performs the Layer 3 forwarding and sends the
packet to Host C through the directly-connected interface VLANIF20.
8.
The response packet from Host C reaches RouterA after the Layer 3 forwarding on
RouterB.
9.
After receiving the packet, RouterA performs the Layer 3 forwarding and sends the
packet to Host A through the super-VLAN.
3.2.5 VLAN Damping
In a specified VLAN where a VLANIF interface has been configured, when all interfaces in the
VLAN goes Down, the VLAN becomes Down. The interface Down event is reported to the
VLANIF interface, causing the VLANIF interface status change. To avoid network flapping due
to the status change of the VLANIF interface, you can enable VLAN damping on the VLANIF
interface and set a delay after which the VLANIF interface goes Down.
With VLAN damping enabled, when the last Up interface in the VLAN goes Down, the Down
event will be reported to the VLANIF interface after a delay (the delay can be set as required).
If an interface in the VLAN goes Up during the delay, the status of the VLANIF interface keeps
unchanged. That is, the VLAN damping function postpones the time at which the VLAN reports
a Down event to the VLANIF interface, avoiding unnecessary route flapping.
3.2.6 VLAN Management
To use a network management system to manage multiple devices, create a VLANIF interface
on each device and configure a management IP address for the VLANIF interface. You can then
log in to a device and manage it using its management IP address. If a user-side interface is
added to the VLAN, users connected to the interface can also log in to the device. This brings
security risks to the device.
After a VLAN is configured as a management VLAN, no access interface can be added to the
VLAN. An access interface is connected to users. The management VLAN forbids users
connected to access interfaces to log in to the device, improving device performance.
