VLANs

A Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) is an L2 segment of the network which defines a broadcast domain and is identified by a tag added to all Ethernet frames running within the domain. This tag is called a VLAN ID (VID) and can be assigned a value of 1-4094.

Each port can have a switch mode of either:

  • Access – access port is a port connected to a host. It can accept only untagged frames, and assigns them a default configured VLAN (Port VLAN ID). On egress, traffic sent from the access port is untagged.

  • Access-dcb – receives ingress untagged traffic but sends egress priority tag (VLAN ID = 0)

  • Hybrid – hybrid port is a port connected to either switches or hosts. It can receive both tagged and untagged frames and assigns untagged frames a default configured VLAN (Port VLAN ID). It receives tagged frames with VLANs of which the port is a member (these VLANs’ names are allowed). On egress, traffic of allowed VLANs sent from the Hybrid port is sent tagged, while traffic sent with PVID is untagged.

  • Trunk – trunk port is a port connecting 2 switches. It accepts only tagged frames with VLANs of which the port is a member. On egress, traffic sent from the Trunk port is tagged. By default, a Trunk port is, automatically, a member on all current VLANs.

Notes

switchport access

switchport access vlan <vlan-id>
no switchport access vlan
switchport access none (hybrid mode only)

Configures the port access VLAN.
The no form of the command sets the port access VLAN to 1.
The none clause of the command removes access VLAN membership from the port, thus disallowing untagged traffic on this port. This is commonly used for fast transition from hybrid switchport to trunk-like switchport and vice versa.

Note

  • This command is not applicable for interfaces with port mode trunk

  • This command is not applicable for interfaces with port mode trunk

  • In hybrid mode, access vlan is optional. Alternatively, use “access none” in order to disable access vlan. In this case, all incoming untagged traffic will be dropped.
