Configure External and Internal Ports in a Solitary-Restricted XVLAN

To configure a single switch for use with XVLAN, you must first configure the external and internal ports. In the following example, XVLAN 10 is identified as the principal XVLAN, and XVLAN 600 is identified as a solitary-restricted XVLAN. This configuration has no group-restricted XVLANs.

For an example of configuring external and internal ports with group-restricted ports, see Configure Ports in Solitary- and Group-Restricted XVLANs.

  1. Disable GVRP.
    SEFOS# conf t
    SEFOS(config)# xvlan 10
     
      % GVRP/GARP Has to be disabled in Exclusive Vlan Mode
    SEFOS(config)# set gvrp disable
    SEFOS(config)#
  2. Create the principal XVLAN.
    SEFOS(config)# xvlan 10
    SEFOS(config-xvlan)# 

    The mode changes to XVLAN configuration.

  3. Add ports to the principal XVLAN.
    SEFOS(config-xvlan)# ports internal extreme-ethernet 0/2,0/15,0/19,0/20 external extreme-ethernet 0/1 name main
    SEFOS(config-xvlan)#
  4. Create restricted VLANs and assign ports to them.

    The ports must belong to the principal XVLAN.

    SEFOS(config-xvlan)# xvlan 600 solo ports internal extreme-ethernet 0/2,0/15,0/19,0/20 external extreme-ethernet 0/1 name solo600
    SEFOS(config-xvlan)# exit
    SEFOS(config)#
  5. Enable the interfaces.
    SEFOS(config)# interface extreme-ethernet 0/1
    SEFOS(config-if)# no shutdown
    SEFOS(config-if)# exit
    SEFOS(config)# 
    SEFOS(config)# interface extreme-ethernet 0/2 
    SEFOS(config-if)# no shutdown 
    SEFOS(config-if)# exit 
    SEFOS(config)# 
    SEFOS(config)# end 
  6. Check the configuration.
    SEFOS# show xvlan

  7. Verify the configuration by checking connectivity on the hosts connected to the external and internal ports.

    The pings between solo internal and external ports are successful, and the pings between internal ports fail.

    1. Ping from the host on port 2 to the host on port 1.
