Switch Configuration Using VLAN ID (VID)
Referring to a VLAN by VID and specifying lists
of VIDs is a useful shortcut that can greatly reduce the number of commands required to configure
the switch.
For example consider a scenario where two ports should be added to four
tagged VLANs. Previously, this required four commands:
- configure vlan red add ports 2, 10 tagged
- configure vlan blue add ports 2, 10 tagged
- configure vlan green add ports 2, 10 tagged
- configure vlan orange add ports 2, 10 tagged
Assuming the tags for the VLANs are 100, 200, 300, 400 respectively this configuration can
be accomplished with a single command:
- configure vlan 100,200,300,400 add ports 2, 10 tagged
Note
commands enhanced with VID list support operate in a “best effort” fashion. If one of
the VIDs in a VID list do not exist the command is still executed for all of the VIDs in the
list that do exist. No error or warning is displayed for the invalid VIDs unless all of the
specified VIDs are in valid.
