Configuration Examples
VLANs are used to associate physical ports on the SSR with connected hosts that may be
physically separated but need to participate in the same broadcast domain. To associate
ports to a VLAN, you must first create a VLAN and then assign ports to the VLAN. This
section shows examples of creating an IP or IPX VLAN and a DECnet, SNA, and
AppleTalk VLAN.
Creating an IP or IPX VLAN
In this example, servers connected to port gi.1.(1-2) on the SSR need to communicate with
clients connected to et.4.(1-8). You can associate all the ports containing the clients and
servers to an IP VLAN called ‘BLUE’.
First, create an IP VLAN named ‘BLUE’
Next, assign ports to the ‘BLUE’ VLAN.
Creating a non-IP/non-IPX VLAN
In this example, SNA, DECnet, and AppleTalk hosts are connected to et.1.1 and et.2.(1-4).
You can associate all the ports containing these hosts to a VLAN called ‘RED’ with the
VLAN ID 5.
First, create a VLAN named ‘RED’
Next, assign ports to the ‘RED’ VLAN.
