2-2 Static Virtual LANs (VLANs) Overview Overview This chapter describes h ow to configure and use stati c , port-based VLANs on the switches covered by this manual.
2-3 Static Virtual LANs (VLANs) Port-Based Virtual LA Ns (Static VLANs) Port-Based V irtual LANs (Static VLANs) VLAN Features A VLAN is a group of ports designated by the switch as be lo nging to the same broadcast domain. (That is, all ports carrying tr affic for a particular subnet address would normally belong to th e same VLAN.
2-4 Static Virtual LANs (VLANs) Port-Based Virtual LA Ns (Static VLANs) bandwidth is saved by not allowing p ackets to flood out all ports. Separate VLANs on the switch can communicate wi th each other through an external router .
2-5 Static Virtual LANs (VLANs) Port-Based Virtual LA Ns (Static VLANs) Figure 2-2. Example of Overlapping VLANs Usin g the Same Server Similarly , using 802.1Q-compliant switches, you can connect mult iple VLANs through a single switch-to-switch li nk.

2-7 Static Virtual LANs (VLANs) Port-Based Virtual LA Ns (Static VLANs) features and ensure that m ultiple instances of DHCP or Boot p on different VLANs do not result in conf licting configuration val ues for th e switch. The primary VLAN is the VLAN the switch uses to run and manage these features and data.
2-8 Static Virtual LANs (VLANs) Port-Based Virtual LA Ns (Static VLANs) Per -Port Static VLAN Configuration Options The follow ing figure and table sho w the options you have for assigning individual ports to a st atic VLAN. Note that GVRP , if config ured, affects these options and VLAN beh avior on the switch.
2-9 Static Virtual LANs (VLANs) Port-Based Virtual LA Ns (Static VLANs) General Steps for Using VLANs 1. Plan your VLAN strategy and create a map of the logic al topology that will result from configuring VLANs. Incl ude consideration fo r the interaction between VLANs an d other fe atures such as Spanning T ree Protocol, load balancing, and IGMP .
2-10 Static Virtual LANs (VLANs) Port-Based Virtual LA Ns (Static VLANs) showing th e (different) so urce VLAN and source port. Other switch models have a single-forwarding database , which means they allow only one data- base entry of a unique MAC address, along with the source VLAN and source port on which it is found (see T able 2- 6).
2-11 Static Virtual LANs (VLANs) Port-Based Virtual LA Ns (Static VLANs) Single-Forwarding Database Operation When a packet arrives with a destin ation MAC address that matches a MAC address in the switch’ s forwarding table, the switch tries to send the packet to the port listed for that MAC ad dress.
2-12 Static Virtual LANs (VLANs) Port-Based Virtual LA Ns (Static VLANs) Figure 2-1. Example of Inval id Configuration for Single-Forwarding t o Multiple- Forwarding Database Device s in a Multiple VLAN Environment In figure 2-1, PC “A” sends an IP packe t to PC “B”.
2-13 Static Virtual LANs (VLANs) Port-Based Virtual LA Ns (Static VLANs) The Solution. T o avoid the preceding problem, use only one cable or port trunk between t he single-forwarding and m ultiple-forwarding data base devices, and configure th e link with multiple, tagged VLANs.

(The switch reser v es “1” for the default VLAN.) Remember that a VLAN must have the same VID in every switch in which you configure that same VLA N.
2-18 Static Virtual LANs (VLANs) Port-Based Virtual LA Ns (Static VLANs) Adding or Changing a VLAN Port Assignment Use this procedure t o add ports to a VLAN or to change the VLAN assign- ment(s) for any port. (Ports not specifically assigned to a VLAN are automat- ically in the defa ult VLAN.
2-19 Static Virtual LANs (VLANs) Port-Based Virtual LA Ns (Static VLANs) Note For GVRP Operation: If you enable GVRP on the switch, “ No ” converts to “ Auto ”, which allows th e VLAN to dynamically join an advertised VLAN that has the same VID.
2-20 Static Virtual LANs (VLANs) Port-Based Virtual LA Ns (Static VLANs) CLI: Configuring VLAN Parameters In the factory default state, al l po rts on the sw itch belong to the (port-based) default VLAN (DEF AUL T_VLAN; VID = 1) and are in the same broadcast/ multicast domain.

2-25 Static Virtual LANs (VLANs) Port-Based Virtual LA Ns (Static VLANs) Changing the Number of VLANs Allowed on the Switch. By default, the switch allows a maximum of 8 VLANs. Y ou can specify any value from 1 to the upper limit for t he switch. If GVRP is enabled, this setting includes any dynamic VLANs on the switch.
2-26 Static Virtual LANs (VLANs) Port-Based Virtual LA Ns (Static VLANs) Creating a New Static VLAN Changing the VLAN Context Level. W ith this command, ent ering a new VID creates a new static VLAN. Entering the VID or name of an existing static VLAN pla ces you in the context level for that VLAN.
2-27 Static Virtual LANs (VLANs) Port-Based Virtual LA Ns (Static VLANs) want to m ake the VLAN permanent. After you con vert a dynamic VLAN to static, you must con figure the switch’ s per -port participat ion in the VLAN in the same way that you would for any static VLAN.
2-28 Static Virtual LANs (VLANs) Port-Based Virtual LA Ns (Static VLANs) For example, if you have a VLAN named VLAN100 wi th a VID of 100, and all ports are set to No for this VLAN.
2-29 Static Virtual LANs (VLANs) Port-Based Virtual LA Ns (Static VLANs) 802.1Q VLAN T agging VLAN tagging enabl e s traf fic from more than one VLAN to use the same port. (Even when two or more VLANs use the same port they re main as separate domains and cannot receive traffic from each other without going through an external router .
2-30 Static Virtual LANs (VLANs) Port-Based Virtual LA Ns (Static VLANs) ■ In switch X: • VLANs assigned to ports X1 - X6 ca n all be untagged because there is only one VLAN assignment per port . Red VLAN traffic will go out only the Red ports; Green VLAN traffi c wi ll go out only the Green ports, and so on.
2-31 Static Virtual LANs (VLANs) Port-Based Virtual LA Ns (Static VLANs) VLAN tagging gives you se veral options: ■ Since the purpose of VLAN tagging is to allow multiple VLANs on the same port, any port that has only one VLAN assigned to it can be configured as “Untagged” (the default).
2-32 Static Virtual LANs (VLANs) Port-Based Virtual LA Ns (Static VLANs) The VLANs assigned to ports X3, X4, Y2, Y3, and Y4 can all be untagged because there is only one VLAN assigned per port. Port X1 has multiple VLANs assigned, which means that one VLAN a ssigned to this port can be untagged and any others must be tagged.
2-33 Static Virtual LANs (VLANs) Port-Based Virtual LA Ns (Static VLANs) The Secure Management VLAN Configures a secure Management VLAN by creating an isol ated network for managing the following ProC.

3-2 GVRP Overview Overview This chapter describes GVRP and how to configure it with the sw itch’ s buil t- in interfaces, and assumes an understanding of VLANs, which ar e described in Chapter 2, “Static V irtual LANs (VLANs)”.
3-3 GVRP Introduction Introduction GVRP—GARP VLAN Registration Pr otocol—is an application of the Generic Attribute Registration Protocol—GARP . GVRP is defined in the IEEE 802.1Q standard, and GARP is defined in the IEEE 802.1D-1998 standard. Note T o unde rstand and use GVRP you must have a working know ledge of 802.
3-4 GVRP Introduction General Operation When GVRP is enabled on a switch, the VID for any static VLANs configured on the switch is advertised (using BPDUs—Bridge Prot ocol Data Units) out all ports, regardless of whether a port is up or assigned to any p articular VLAN.
3-5 GVRP Introduction Note that if a static VLAN is configu r ed on at least one port of a swi tch, and that port has established a link with anot her device, then all other ports of that switch will send advert is ements for that VLAN.
3-6 GVRP Introduction ■ If the switch already has a static VLAN assignment with the same VID as in the advertisement, and the port is configured to Auto for that VLAN, then the port wi ll dynamically join the VLAN and begin moving that VLAN’ s traffic.
3-7 GVRP Introduction T able 3-1. Option s for Handling “Unknown VLAN” Advertisements: The CLI show gvrp command and the menu in terface VLAN Support screen show a switch’ s current GVRP configuration, incl uding the Unknown VLAN settings. Figure 3-3.
3-8 GVRP Introduction Per -Port Options for Dyna mic VLAN Advertising and Joining Initiating Advertisements. As described in the pr eceding section, to enable dynamic joins, GV RP must be enabled and a port must be configured to Learn (the defaul t).
3-9 GVRP Introduction As the preceding table indicates, when you enable GVRP , a port that has a T agged or Untagged stati c VLAN has the opt ion for both generating adve rtise- ments and dyna mically joining other VLAN s. Note In table 3-2, above, the Unknown VLAN parameters are configured on a per - port basis using the CLI.
3-10 GVRP Introduction GVRP and VLAN Access Control When you enable GVRP on a switch, the default GVRP para meter settings allow all of the switch’ s ports to tr ansmit and receive dynamic VLAN adver - tisements (GVRP adve rtisem ents) and to dynamically jo in VLANs.
