Extreme SLX-OS Layer 2 Switching Configuration Guide, 20.6.1

Enter global configuration mode.

device# configure terminal

Create a VLAN.

device(config)# vlan 100

Specify an Ethernet interface.

device(config)# interface ethernet 0/2

Enter the switchport command to configure Layer 2 characteristics.

device(conf-if-eth-0/2)# switchport

Specify trunk mode.

device(conf-if-eth-0/2)# switchport mode trunk

Tag the port to a VLAN.

device(conf-if-eth-0/2)# switchport mode trunk allowed vlan add 100

Enter the route-only command to enable Layer 3 routing exclusively on the port.

device(conf-if-eth-0/2)# route-only

Use the no route-only command to revert to default Layer 2 and Layer 3 behavior.

Enable the interface and exit to global configuration mode.

device(conf-if-eth-0/2)# no shutdown
device(conf-if-eth-0/2)# exit

Verify the Ethernet configuration.

device(conf-if-eth-0/2)# do show running-cocnfig interface ethernet 0/2
switchport
switchport mode trunk
switchport trunk allowed vlan add 100
route only
no shutdown

Verify the port statistics for switching packets dropped.

Enter virtual Ethernet (VE) configuration mode and specify the VLAN.

device(config)# interface ve 100

Assign an IP address and mask and enable the interface.

device(config-Ve-100)# ip address 10.2.2.2/24
device(config-Ve-100)# no shutdown

Confirm the VE configuration.

device(config-Ve-100)# do show running-config interface ve 100
