Configuring High Availability VLANs
page 3-10 Release 5.1.6.R02 User Guide Supplement June 2005
Deleting a VLAN
To delete a VLAN use the no form of the vlan command by entering no vlan followed by the VLAN’s ID
number. For example, to delete high availability VLAN 10 enter:
-> no vlan 10
Assigning and Removing Ingress Ports
The following subsections describe how to assign to and remove ingress ports from a high availability
VLAN with the vlan port-mac ingress-port command.
Note. Using the vlan port-mac ingress-port command will change a standard VLAN to a high availabil-
ity VLAN. Standard VLAN commands do not apply to high availability VLANs.
Assigning Ingress Ports
To assign ingress ports to a high availability VLAN you use the vlan port-mac ingress-port command by
entering vlan, followed by the VLAN’s ID number, port-mac ingress-port, the slot number of the port, a
slash (/), and the port number.
For example, to add ingress port 3/2 to high availability VLAN 10 you would enter:
-> vlan 10 port-mac ingress-port 3/2
You can also add multiple ingress ports by entering vlan, followed by the VLAN’s ID number, port-mac
ingress-port, the slot number of the first port, a slash (/), the port number of the first port, a space, the slot
number of the second port, a slash, and the port number of the second port. Additional ports can also be
added by specifying their slot number, a slash, and their port number preceded by a space.
Note. Ingress ports that belong to the same high availability VLAN do not need to be sequential and can
be on different second-generation NI modules.
For example, to add ingress port 3/2, 5/1, and 7/4 to high availability VLAN 10 you would enter:
-> vlan 10 port-mac ingress-port 3/2 5/1 7/4
You can also add a range of ingress ports by entering vlan, followed by the VLAN’s ID number, port-
mac ingress-port, the slot number of the first port, a slash (/), the port number of the first port on the NI, a
hyphen (-), and the last port on the NI.
For example, to add ingress port 2/1 through 2/5 to high availability VLAN 10 enter:
-> vlan 10 port-mac ingress-port 2/1-5
You can add multiple and ranges of ingress ports in the same command line. For example, to add ingress
ports 2/1 through 2/5, 3/2, 5/1, and 7/4 to high availability VLAN 10 you would enter:
-> vlan 10 port-mac ingress-port 2/1-5 3/2 5/1 7/4
