IP and IPX on the Same VLAN
The switch supports IP and IPX routing within the same VLAN.
This feature does not require any special configuration.
Tagged IPX VLAN
The switch supports tagged 802.1Q traffic on an IPX VLAN that is
performing routing.
Tagging is most commonly used to create VLANs that span
multiple switches. Using VLAN tags, multiple VLANs can span
multiple switches using one or more trunks. In a port-based VLAN,
each VLAN requires its own pair of trunk ports.
Another benefit of tagged VLANs is the ability to have a port be a
member of multiple VLANs. This is particularly useful if you have
a device (such as a server) that must belong to multiple VLANs. A
single port can be a member of only one port-based VLAN. All
additional VLAN memberships for that port must be configured
with tags.
To configure a tagged IPX VLAN, assign a tag to the VLAN using
this command:
configure vlan <name> tag <vlanid>
The valid range is from 1 to 4095.
To assign tagged ports to the VLAN, use this command:
configure vlan <name> add port <portlist> {tagged |
untagged} {nobroadcast}
To display your VLAN settings, use this command:
show vlan {<name>} {detail}
IPX Load Sharing
See "Load Sharing" on
page 84.
The 480T routing switch supports IPX load sharing. There is no
special configuration requirement to support this function. Simply
configure load sharing as you would normally.
