ExtremeCloud switches implement support for 802.1q static VLANs. Protocol-based VLANs and port-based VLANs are not supported.
VLANS are configured under policy. A default VLAN is assigned, which maps to the default VLAN (VLAN 1) on EXOS switches. This default VLAN is pre-defined and cannot be deleted. It is deployed to every switch and AP. You can edit the multicast filters for APs only. The default VLAN is the only VLAN that can be defined as untagged.
VLANs are part of role and network configuration. VLANs are deployed to all devices in a site if any of the members of the site serve a network or role that uses the VLAN.
A switch's AP port is configured with all of the VLANs that the AP could transmit on.
An Uplink port gets all of the VLANS that are configured on a switch. The VLAN transmission can be tagged or untagged.
Host ports and Other ports can have VLANS assigned directly from the list of VLANs that are applied to the group through the policy attachment. Host and other ports can also be configured to select which VLAN egresses as untagged. For example, a host can be directly connected to a switch and the host belongs on a VLAN that is not the default VLAN. You can remove the default VLAN from the port and assign a different VLAN that the host needs to egress untagged and make it the PVID.
VLAN Groups are topology groups that contain one or more VLAN IDs. VLAN groups can be assigned to a port or a group of ports, and each port can have more than one VLAN group can be assigned to it.
A topology can be used in more than one VLAN group.
Each topology group is treated as one entity. A topology group can also contain topologies that have more than one VLAN ID assigned to it.
VLAN groups can be assigned to individual switch ports or to switch ports at a site. When assigning a VLAN group to multiple ports, consider using the Port Manager to configure the ports in bulk (as a virtual stack).
Ports can be assigned to multiple switches at once, regardless of their location, using the Port Manager feature. This feature is similar to switch stacking. Port Manager also lets you assign VLAN IDs and VLAN groups.
