Configuring the Routing Protocols and VLANs

After a user VR is created, the ports are added, and support for any required routing protocols is added, you can configure the VR.

To create a VLAN in a VR, use the command:
create vlan vlan_name {description vlan-description} {vr name}

If you do not specify a VR in the create vlan command, the VLAN is created in the current VR context.

VLAN names must conform to the guidelines specified in Object Names.

Note
All VLAN names and VLAN IDs on a switch must be unique, regardless of the VR in which they are created. You cannot have two VLANs with the same name, even if they are in different VRs.
To display the VLANs in a specific VR, use the command:
show vlan virtual-router vr-name, which is a specific form of this command:

show vlan {virtual-router vr-name}

You can also configure routing protocols by using the standard ExtremeXOS software commands. The routing configurations of the different VRs are independent of each other.
