VLAN Commands
ExtremeWare XOS 11.5 supports only the Summit X450 family of switches and the BlackDiamond 8800 series switch.
ExtremeWare XOS 11.5 Command Reference Guide
740
configure vlan ipaddress
configure vlan <vlan_name> ipaddress [<ipaddress> {<ipNetmask>} |
ipv6-link-local | {eui64} <ipv6_address_mask>]
Description
Assigns an IPv4 address and an optional subnet mask or an IPv6 address to the VLAN. Beginning with
ExtremeWare XOS version 11.2, you can specify IPv6 addresses. You can assign either an IPv4 address,
and IPv6 address, or both to the VLAN. Beginning with ExtremeWare XOS software version 11.3, you
can use this command to assign an IP address to a specified vMAN and enable multicasting on that
vMAN.
Syntax Description
Default
N/A.
Usage Guidelines
NOTE
Use this command to assign an IP address to a vMAN, as well. The vMAN functionality is available only on
platforms with an Advanced Edge, a Core, or an Advanced Core license.
The VLAN must already exist before you can assign an IP address: use the
create vlan
command to
create the VLAN (also the vMAN must already exist).
vlan_name
Specifies a VLAN name.
ipaddress
Specifies an IPv4 address.
ipNetmask
Specifies an IPv4 subnet mask in dotted-quad notation (for example,
255.255.255.0).
ipv6-link-local
Specifies IPv6 and configures a link-local address generated by combining the
standard link-local prefix with the automatically generated interface in the EUI-
64 format. Using this option automatically generates an entire IPv6 address;
this address is only a link-local, or VLAN-based, IPv6 address, that is, ports on
the same segment can communicate using this IP address and do not have to
pass through a gateway.
eui64
Specifies IPv6 and automatically generates the interface ID in the EUI-64
format using the interface’s MAC address. Once you enter this parameter, you
must add the following variables:
<ipv6_address_mask>.
Use this option
when you want to enter the 64-bit prefix and use a EUI-64 address for the rest
of the IPv6 address.
ipv6_address_mask
Specify the IPv6 address in the following format: x:x:x:x:x:x:x:x/prefix length,
where each x is the hexadecimal value of one of the 8 16-bit pieces of the
128-bit wide address.
