VLAN interface configuration
Overview
NOTE:
For more information about VLANs, see H3C WX3000E Series Wireless Switches Switching Engine
Configuration Guide.
For hosts of different VLANs to communicate, you must use a router or Layer 3 switch to perform layer 3
forwarding. To achieve this, VLAN interfaces are used.
VLAN interfaces are virtual interfaces used for Layer 3 communication between different VLANs. They do
not exist as physical entities on devices. For each VLAN, you can create one VLAN interface. You can
assign the VLAN interface an IP address and specify it as the gateway of the VLAN to forward the traffic
destined for an IP network segment different from that of the VLAN.
Creating a VLAN interface
When you create a VLAN interface, you can assign an IPv4 address and an IPv6 link-local address to the
VLAN interface at the same time, or assign an address to it during modification.
To create a VLAN interface:
1. Select Network > VLAN Interface from the navigation tree.
2. Click the Create tab to enter the page for creating a VLAN interface, as shown in Figure 122 .
