VLAN Interfaces
VLANs are logical interfaces and are, by default, in Layer 2 mode. Physical interfaces and port channels
can be members of VLANs. For more information on VLANs and Layer 2, refer to Chapter 10, Layer 2, on
page 47. See also Chapter 18, VLAN Stacking, on page 367.
FTOS supports Inter-VLAN routing (Layer 3 routing in VLANs). You can add IP addresses to VLANs and
use them in routing protocols in the same manner that physical interfaces are used. For more information
on configuring different routing protocols, refer to the chapters on the specific protocol.
A consideration for including VLANs in routing protocols is that the
no shutdown command must be
configured. (For routing traffic to flow, the VLAN must be enabled.)
Assign an IP address to an interface with the following command the INTERFACE mode:
Figure 20-12 shows a sample configuration of a VLAN participating in an OSPF process.

Note: To monitor VLAN interfaces, use the Management Information Base for Network Management of
TCP/IP-based internets: MIB-II (RFC 1213). Monitoring VLAN interfaces via SNMP is supported only on
E-Series.
Note: An IP address cannot be assigned to the Default VLAN, which, by default, is VLAN 1. To assign
another VLAN ID to the Default VLAN, use the default vlan-id vlan-id command.
Command Syntax Command Mode Purpose
ip address ip-address mask [secondary] INTERFACE Configure an IP address and mask on the interface.
• ip-address mask: enter an address in
dotted-decimal format (A.B.C.D) and the mask
must be in slash format (/24).
• secondary: the IP address is the interface’s
backup IP address. You can configure up to eight
secondary IP addresses.
