Chapter 13: VLAN Commands

116

VLAN on the switch.

If this VLAN will be unique in your network, then its

VID must also be unique. If this VLAN will be part of a
larger VLAN that spans multiple switches, then the
VID value for the VLAN should be the same on each
switch. For example, if you are creating a VLAN
called Sales that will span three switches, you should
assign the Sales VLAN on each switch the same VID
value.

ports

Specifies the ports on the switch that are to be either

tagged or untagged members of the new VLAN. You
can specify the ports individually (e.g., 2,3,5), as a
range (e.g., 7-9), or both (e.g., 2,5,7-9). To specify all
ports on the switch, use ALL. This parameter must be
followed by the FRAME parameters.

frame

Specifies whether the ports of the VLAN are to be

tagged or untagged. This parameter must be used
with the PORTS parameter.

taggedports

Specifies the ports on the switch to serve as tagged

ports in the VLAN. You can specify the ports
individually (e.g., 2,3,5), as a range (e.g., 7-9), or both
(e.g., 2,5,7-9). To specify all ports on the switch, use
ALL. Omit this parameter if the VLAN will not contain
tagged ports.

untaggedports

Ports on the switch to function as untagged ports in

the VLAN. You can specify the ports individually
(e.g., 2,3,5), as a range (e.g., 7-9), or both (e.g., 2,5,7-
9). To specify all ports on the switch, use ALL. Omit
this parameter if the VLAN will not contain untagged
ports.

MirrorPort

A port on the switch where all traffic on the VLAN
will be mirrored. This function is useful in
troubleshooting a VLAN. It allows you to mirror the
VLAN traffic on another port where you can connect
a network analyzer. The mirror port can be a
member of the same VLAN it will be used to monitor
or a member of another VLAN. In most situations
you will probably not use this parameter.

Description

This command creates a port-based or tagged VLAN.
