NOTE
In these examples, the configurations of the edge devices (A, B, E, and F) are identical. The
configurations of the core devices (C and D) also are identical. The aggregated VLAN configurations
of the edge and core devices on one side must be symmetrical (in fact, a mirror image) to the
configurations of the devices on the other side. For simplicity, the example in
on page 401 is
symmetrical in terms of the port numbers. This allows the configurations for both sides of the link to be
the same. If your configuration does not use symmetrically arranged port numbers, the configurations
should not be identical but must use the correct port numbers.
Commands for configuring aggregated VLANs on device A
deviceA(config)# vlan 101 by port
deviceA(config-vlan-101)# tagged ethernet 2/1
deviceA(config-vlan-101)# untagged ethernet 1/1
deviceA(config-vlan-101)# exit
deviceA(config)# vlan 102 by port
deviceA(config-vlan-102)# tagged ethernet 2/1
deviceA(config-vlan-102)# untagged ethernet 1/2
deviceA(config-vlan-102)# exit
deviceA(config)# vlan 103 by port
deviceA(config-vlan-103)# tagged ethernet 2/1
deviceA(config-vlan-103)# untagged ethernet 1/3
deviceA(config-vlan-103)# exit
deviceA(config)# vlan 104 by port
deviceA(config-vlan-104)# tagged ethernet 2/1
deviceA(config-vlan-104)# untagged ethernet 1/4
deviceA(config-vlan-104)# exit
deviceA(config)# vlan 105 by port
deviceA(config-vlan-105)# tagged ethernet 2/1
deviceA(config-vlan-105)# untagged ethernet 1/5
deviceA(config-vlan-105)# exit
vA(config)# write memory
Commands for configuring aggregated VLANs on device B
The commands for configuring device B are identical to the commands for configuring device A. Notice
that you can use the same channel VLAN numbers on each device. The devices that aggregate the
VLANs into a path can distinguish between the identically named channel VLANs based on the ID of
the path VLAN.
deviceB(config)# vlan 101 by port
deviceB(config-vlan-101)# tagged ethernet 2/1
deviceB(config-vlan-101)# untagged ethernet 1/1
deviceB(config-vlan-101)# exit
deviceB(config)# vlan 102 by port
deviceB(config-vlan-102)# tagged ethernet 2/1
deviceB(config-vlan-102)# untagged ethernet 1/2
deviceB(config-vlan-102)# exit
deviceB(config)# vlan 103 by port
deviceB(config-vlan-103)# tagged ethernet 2/1
deviceB(config-vlan-103)# untagged ethernet 1/3
deviceB(config-vlan-103)# exit
deviceB(config)# vlan 104 by port
deviceB(config-vlan-104)# tagged ethernet 2/1
deviceB(config-vlan-104)# untagged ethernet 1/4
deviceB(config-vlan-104)# exit
deviceB(config)# vlan 105 by port
deviceB(config-vlan-105)# tagged ethernet 2/1
deviceB(config-vlan-105)# untagged ethernet 1/5
deviceB(config-vlan-105)# exit
deviceB(config)# write memory
