xStack DGS/DXS-3300 Series Layer 3 Stackable Gigabit Ethernet Switch CLI Manual

VLAN COMMANDS
The xStack DGS/DXS-3300 series now incorporates protocol-based VLANs. This standard, defined by the IEEE 802.1v
standard maps packets to protocol-defined VLANs by examining the type octet within the packet header to discover the type of
protocol associated with it. After assessing the protocol, the Switch will forward the packets to all ports within the protocol-
assigned VLAN. This feature will benefit the administrator by better balancing load sharing and enhancing traffic classification.
The Switch supports fifteen (15) pre-defined protocols for configuring protocol-based VLANs. The user may also choose a
protocol that is not one of the fifteen defined protocols by properly configuring the userDefined protocol VLAN. The supported
protocols for the protocol VLAN function on this Switch include IP, IPX, DEC, DEC LAT, SNAP, NetBIOS, AppleTalk, XNS,
SNA, IPv6, RARP and VINES.
The VLAN commands in the Command Line Interface (CLI) are listed (along with the appropriate parameters) in the following
table.
Command Parameters

delete vlan <vlan_name 32>
config vlan <vlan_name 32> {[add [tagged | untagged | forbidden] <portlist> |
advertisement [enable | disable]}
config vlan <vlan_name 32> delete <portlist>
config gvrp [<portlist> | all] {state [enable | disable] | ingress_checking [enable

<vlanid 1-4094>}
enable gvrp
disable gvrp
show vlan {<vlan_name 32>}
show gvrp {<portlist>}
Each command is listed, in detail, in the following sections.
NOTE: A specific protocol VLAN and a user defined protocol VLAN with
the same encapsulation protocol cannot coexist and will result in a Fail!
Message. (For example, if a user creates an Ethernet2 protocol VLAN, the
user can not create a userDefined protocol VLAN with an Ethernet
encapsulation)
