VLAN configuration and management 5 Creating a VLAN interface On Dell FCoE hardware, VLANs are treated as interfaces from a configuration point of view. By default all the CEE ports are assigned to VLAN 1 (VLAN ID equals 1). The VLAN ID value can be 1 through 3583. VLAN IDs 3584 through 4094 are internally-reserved VLAN IDs. To create a VLAN interface, perform the following steps from Privileged EXEC mode. 1. Enter the configure terminal command to access global configuration mode. 2. Enter the interface vlan command to assign the VLAN interface number. switch(config)#interface vlan 1002 Enabling STP on a VLAN Once all of the interface ports have been configured for a VLAN, you can enable spanning tree protocol (STP) for all members of the VLAN with a single command. Whichever protocol is currently selected is used by the VLAN. Only one type of STP can be active at a time. A physical interface port can be a member of multiple VLANs. For example, a physical port can be a member of VLAN 1002 and VLAN 55 simultaneously. In addition, VLAN 1002 can have STP enabled and VLAN 55 can have STP disabled simultaneously. To enable STP for a VLAN, perform the following steps from Privileged EXEC mode. 1. Enter the configure terminal command to access global configuration mode. 2. Enter the protocol spanning tree command to select the type of STP for the VLAN. switch(config)#protocol spanning tree mstp 3. Enter the interface command to select the VLAN interface number. switch(config)#interface vlan 1002 4. Enter the spanning-tree shutdown command to enable spanning tree on VLAN 1002. switch(conf-if-vl-1002)#no spanning-tree shutdown Disabling STP on a VLAN Once all of the interface ports have been configured for a VLAN, you can disable STP for all members of the VLAN with a single command. To disable STP for a VLAN, perform the following steps from Privileged EXEC mode. 1. Enter the configure terminal command to access global configuration mode. 2. Enter the interface command to select the VLAN interface number. switch(config)#interface vlan 55 3. Enter the spanning-tree shutdown command to disable spanning tree on VLAN 1002. switch(conf-if-vl-55)#spanning-tree shutdown Dell Converged Enhanced Ethernet Administrator's Guide 35 53-1002116-01

VLAN configuration and management

Creating a VLAN interface

On Dell FCoE hardware, VLANs are treated as interfaces from a configuration point of view.

By default all the CEE ports are assigned to VLAN 1 (VLAN ID equals 1). The VLAN ID

value can be 1

through 3583. VLAN IDs 3584 through 4094 are internally-reserved VLAN IDs.

To create a VLAN interface, perform the following steps from Privileged EXEC mode.

Enter the

configure terminal

command to access global configuration mode.

Enter the

interface vlan

command to assign the VLAN interface number.

switch(config)#

interface vlan 1002

Enabling STP on a VLAN

Once all of the interface ports have been configured for a VLAN, you can enable spanning tree

protocol (STP) for all members of the VLAN with a single command. Whichever protocol is currently

selected is used by the VLAN. Only one type of STP can be active at a time.

A physical interface port can be a member of multiple VLANs. For example, a physical port can be a

member of VLAN 1002 and VLAN 55 simultaneously. In addition, VLAN 1002 can have STP enabled

and VLAN 55 can have STP disabled simultaneously.

To enable STP for a VLAN, perform the following steps from Privileged EXEC mode.

Enter the

configure terminal

command to access global configuration mode.

Enter the

protocol spanning tree

command to select the type of STP for the VLAN.

switch(config)#

protocol spanning tree mstp

Enter the

interface

command to select the VLAN interface number.

switch(config)#

interface vlan 1002

Enter the

spanning-tree shutdown

command to enable spanning tree on VLAN 1002.

switch(conf-if-vl-1002)#

no spanning-tree shutdown

Disabling STP on a VLAN

Once all of the interface ports have been configured for a VLAN, you can disable STP for all

members of the VLAN with a single command.

To disable STP for a VLAN, perform the following steps from Privileged EXEC mode.

Enter the

configure terminal

command to access global configuration mode.

Enter the

interface

command to select the VLAN interface number.

switch(config)#

interface vlan 55

Enter the

spanning-tree shutdown

command to disable spanning tree on VLAN 1002.

switch(conf-if-vl-55)#

spanning-tree shutdown
