How to Configure VLANs Over a Datalink That Is Part of a Bridge

Language:

Before You Begin

This procedure assumes that the bridge already exists. For information about how to create a bridge, see Creating a Bridge.

Ensure that your role has the appropriate rights profile to perform this procedure. See Using Rights Profiles to Perform Network Configuration.

List the link-related information of the bridge to determine the links that are a part of the bridge.
```
$ dladm show-bridge -l bridge-name
```
Create the VLAN over the link that is a part of the bridge.
```
$ dladm create-vlan -l link -v vid VLAN-link
```
link

Specifies the link on which the VLAN interface is being created.

Note - In this procedure, the link should part of the bridge that you have created.

vid

Indicates the VLAN ID number.

VLAN-link

Specifies the name of the VLAN.
Repeat this command for every VLAN you want to create. For every VLAN that you created, create an IP interface over the VLAN.
```
$ ipadm create-ip interface
```
where interface is the VLAN name.
For each IP interface on a VLAN, configure a valid IP address.
```
$ ipadm create-addr -a IP-address interface
```
