Modifying a Group or VLAN
After creating a Group (through crgp ) or VLAN ( through cratvl , see Chapters 20 and 22 ) , you
can change any of their parameters through the modvl command. In addition, if you did not
set up a virtual router port ( IP or IPX ) during the initial Group or VLAN configuration, you can
set one up with modvl . To use this command, enter modvl followed by the Group number and
VLAN number to change. For example, to modify parameters in Group 2, VLAN 1, enter:
modvl 2
Note that you do not need to specify a VLAN number to modify the default VLAN within a
Group. To modify parameters in Group 2, VLAN 2, you would enter:
modvl 2:2
A screen similar to the following displays.
Current values associated with GROUP 2.1 are as follows:
1) GROUP Number - 2:1
2) Description - New GROUP (#2)
IP Parameters:
3) IP enabled - Y
4) IP Network Address - 198.206.101.12
5) IP Subnet Mask - 255.255.255.0
6) IP Broadcast Address - 198.206.101.255
7) Router Description
- Router Port #2
8) RIP Mode - Silent
{Active (a), Inactive (i), Deaf (d), Silent (s)}
9) Routing disabled - N
11) Default Framing - Ethernet II
{Ethernet II(e), Ethernet 802.3 (8), fddi (f),
token ring (t), source route token ring (s)}
IPX parameters:
12) IPX enabled - N
(save/quit/cancel)
:
The Group number at the top of this sample screen is followed by the number 1 ( GROUP 2.1 ),
meaning that the information applies to default VLAN #1 in this Group. If this screen displayed
information on Group 2, VLAN 2, then this field would read GROUP 2:2 .
The colon prompt (:) at the bottom of the screen is used to prompt for user input. To change
a value, type the line number of the item you want to change, followed by an equal sign (=)
and the new value. For example, to set a new description you could enter:
2=Engineering
All of the modvl parameters are described in the section for creating a new Group, Creating a
New Group on page 19-18.
♦ Note ♦
Line numbering for the modvl command will vary
depending on whether you have an IP or IPX router
configured. Each type of router contains several param-
eters that require extra line numbers.
