vlan

The following operations can be performed on "vlan":

add | rm | set | unset | bind | unbind | show | stat

add vlan

Adds a VLAN to the NetScaler appliance.The newVLAN is not active unless interfaces are bound to it.

Synopsys

add vlan <id> [-aliasName <string>] [-dynamicRouting ( ENABLED | DISABLED )] [-ipv6DynamicRouting ( ENABLED | DISABLED )] [-mtu <positive_integer>] [-sharing ( ENABLED | DISABLED )]

Arguments

id

A positive integer that uniquely identifies a VLAN.

Minimum value: 1

Maximum value: 4094

aliasName

A name for the VLAN. Must begin with a letter, a number, or the underscore symbol, and can consist of from 1 to 31 letters, numbers, and the hyphen (-), period (.) pound (#), space ( ), at sign (@), equals (=), colon (:), and underscore (_) characters. You should choose a name that helps identify the VLAN. However, you cannot perform any VLAN operation by specifying this name instead of the VLAN ID.

dynamicRouting

Enable dynamic routing on this VLAN.

Possible values: ENABLED, DISABLED

Default value: DISABLED

ipv6DynamicRouting

Enable all IPv6 dynamic routing protocols on this VLAN. Note: For the ENABLED setting to work, you must configure IPv6 dynamic routing protocols from the VTYSH command line.

Possible values: ENABLED, DISABLED

Default value: DISABLED

mtu

Specifies the maximum transmission unit (MTU), in bytes. The MTU is the largest packet size, excluding 14 bytes of ethernet header and 4 bytes of crc, that can be transmitted and received over this VLAN.

Default value: 0

Minimum value: 500

Maximum value: 9216

sharing

If sharing is enabled, then this vlan can be shared across multiple partitions by binding it to all those partitions. If sharing is disabled, then this vlan can be bound to only one of the partitions.

Possible values: ENABLED, DISABLED

Default value: DISABLED

rm vlan

Removes a VLAN from the NetScaler appliance. When the VLAN is removed, its interfaces are bound to VLAN 1. Note: VLAN 1 cannot be removed by any command.

Synopsys

rm vlan <id>

Arguments

id

Integer that uniquely identifies the VLAN to be removed from the NetScaler appliance. When the VLAN is removed, its interfaces become members of VLAN 1.

Minimum value: 2

Maximum value: 4094

set vlan

Modifies parameters of a VLAN on the NetScaler appliance.

Synopsys

set vlan <id> [-aliasName <string>] [-dynamicRouting ( ENABLED | DISABLED )] [-ipv6DynamicRouting ( ENABLED | DISABLED )] [-mtu <positive_integer>] [-sharing ( ENABLED | DISABLED )]

Arguments

id

A positive integer that uniquely identifies a VLAN.

Minimum value: 1

Maximum value: 4094

Possible values: ENABLED, DISABLED

Default value: DISABLED

Example

set vlan 2 -dynamicRouting ENABLED

unset vlan

Use this command to remove vlan settings.Refer to the set vlan command for meanings of the arguments.

Synopsys

unset vlan <id> [-aliasName] [-dynamicRouting] [-ipv6DynamicRouting] [-mtu] [-sharing]

bind vlan

Binds the specified interfaces or IP addresses to a VLAN. An interface can be bound to a VLAN as a tagged or an untagged member. Adding an interface as an untagged member removes it from its current native VLAN and adds it to the new VLAN. If an interface is added as a tagged member to a VLAN, it still remains a member of its native VLAN.

Synopsys

bind vlan <id> [-ifnum <interface_name> ... [-tagged]] [-IPAddress <ip_addr|ipv6_addr|*> [<netmask>] [-td <positive_integer>] [-ownerGroup <string>]]

Arguments

id

Specifies the virtual LAN ID.

Minimum value: 1

Maximum value: 4094

ifnum

Interface to be bound to the VLAN, specified in slot/port notation (for example, 1/3).

Minimum value: 1

tagged

Make the interface an 802.1q tagged interface. Packets leaving this interface have an additional 4-byte 802.1q tag, which identifies the VLAN. To use 802.1q tagging, you must also configure the switch connected to the interfaces on the appliance.

IPAddress

Network address to be associated with the VLAN. Should exist on the appliance before you associate it with the VLAN. To enable IP forwarding among VLANs, the specified address can be used as the default gateway by the hosts in the network.

netmask

Subnet mask for the network address defined for this VLAN.

td

Integer value that uniquely identifies the traffic domain in which you want to configure the entity. If you do not specify an ID, the entity becomes part of the default traffic domain, which has an ID of 0.

Minimum value: 0

Maximum value: 4094

ownerGroup

The owner node group in a Cluster for this vlan.

Default value: DEFAULT_NG

unbind vlan

Unbinds the specified interfaces or IP addresses from a VLAN. If any of the interfaces are untagged members of the VLAN, they are automatically bound to VLAN 1.

Synopsys

unbind vlan <id> [-ifnum <interface_name> ... [-tagged]] [-IPAddress <ip_addr|ipv6_addr|*> [<netmask>] [-td <positive_integer>] [-ownerGroup <string>]]

Arguments

id

The virtual LAN (VLAN) id.

Minimum value: 1

Maximum value: 4094

ifnum

Interface to unbind from the VLAN, specified in slot/port notation (for example, 1/3).

Minimum value: 1

tagged

The 802.1q tagged interface.

IPAddress

The IP Address associated with the VLAN configuration.

netmask

Subnet mask for the network address defined for this VLAN.

td

Integer value that uniquely identifies the traffic domain in which you want to configure the entity. If you do not specify an ID, the entity becomes part of the default traffic domain, which has an ID of 0.

Minimum value: 0

Maximum value: 4094

ownerGroup

The owner node group in a Cluster for this vlan.

Default value: DEFAULT_NG

show vlan

Displays the settings of all VLANs configured on the NetScaler appliance, or of the specified VLAN. To display the settings of all the VLANs, run the command without any parameters. To display the settings of a particular VLAN, specify the ID of the VLAN.
