Chapter 13: VLAN Commands

118

Note

To remove ports from a VLAN, see the command DELETE VLAN.

This command has two syntaxes, just like the CREATE VLAN command.
You can use either command to add ports to a VLAN. The difference
between the two is that Syntax 1 can add only one type of port, tagged
or untagged, at a time to a VLAN, while Syntax 2 can add both in the
same command. This is illustrated in Examples below.

When you add untagged ports of a VLAN, the ports are automatically
removed from their current untagged VLAN assignment. This is because
a port can be an untagged member of only one VLAN at a time. For
example, if you add Port 4 as an untagged port to a VLAN, the port is
automatically removed from whichever VLAN it is currently an untagged
member.

Adding a tagged port to a VLAN does not change the port’s current
tagged and untagged VLAN assignments. This is because a tagged port
can belong to more than one VLAN at a time. For instance, if you add
Port 6 as an tagged port to a new VLAN, Port 6 remains a member of any
current VLAN assignments as a tagged and untagged member.

Examples

The following command uses Syntax 1 to add Ports 4 and 7 as untagged
members to a VLAN called Sales:

add vlan name=sales port=4,7 frame=untagged

The following command does the same thing using Syntax 2:

add vlan name=sales untaggedports=4,7

The following command uses Syntax 1 to add Port 3 as a tagged
member to a VLAN called Production:

add vlan name=production port=3 frame=tagged

The following command does the same thing using Syntax 2:

add vlan name=production untaggedports=3

To add both tagged and untagged ports to a VLAN using Syntax 1 takes
two commands. For example, if you had a VLAN called Service and you
wanted to add Port 5 as a tagged port and Ports 10 to 12 as untagged
ports, the commands would be:

add vlan name=Service ports=5 frame=tagged

add vlan name=Service ports=10-12 frame=untagged
