set vlan interface

Use this command to create, disable or enables a MIB-II interface mapping to a VLAN.

Syntax

set vlan interface vlan-list {create | disable | enable} [volatile]

Parameters

vlan-list Specifies the VLAN(s) for which a MIB-II interface entry will be created, disabled or enabled.
create | disable | enable Creates, disables or enables an interface entry.
volatile (Optional) When the create keyword is used, stores the entry as a volatile entry. Volatile entries are lost when a system is reset. Non-volatile entries are saved in NVRAM and are persistent until cleared.

Defaults

If volatile is not specified, entries will be created as nonvolatile.

Mode

All command modes.

Usage

This command results in the creation of a VTAP port. A VTAP port provides the data source input of a port mirror or SMON statistics collection. VTAP creation is the mechanism for adding a MIB-II interface table entry for a VLAN. The specified VLAN is assigned a MIB-II ifIndex. A VLAN will not have a MIB-II ifIndex if a VTAP port does not exist for it. You must first create a VTAP port before creating a port mirror.

Example

This example shows how to create a non-volatile MIB-II interface entry mapped to VLAN 1:

System(rw)->set vlan interface 1 create
System(rw)->show vlan interface 1
VLAN MIB-II Interfaces
Max Interfaces     : 16
Current Interfaces : 1
