VLAN Membership<br />

124 | Interfaces<br />

A virtual LAN (VLANs) is a logical broadcast domain or logical grouping of interfaces in a LAN in which<br />

all data received is kept locally and broadcast to all members of the group. In Layer 2 mode, VLANs move<br />

traffic at wire speed and can span multiple devices. FTOS supports up to 4093 port-based VLANs and one<br />

default VLAN, as specified in IEEE 802.1Q.<br />

VLANs provide the following benefits:<br />

• Improved security because you can isolate groups of users into different VLANs<br />

• Ability to create one VLAN across multiple devices<br />

On an Aggregator in standalone mode, all ports are configured by default as members of all (4094)<br />

VLANs, including the default VLAN. All VLANs operate in Layer 2 mode. You can reconfigure the<br />

VLAN membership for individual ports by using the vlan tagged or vlan untagged commands in<br />

INTERFACE configuration mode (Configuring VLAN Membership). Physical interfaces and port<br />

channels can be members of VLANs.<br />

Note: You can assign a static IP address to default VLAN 1 using the ip address command. To assign a<br />

different VLAN ID to the default VLAN, use the default vlan-id vlan-id command.<br />

If you configure an Aggregator to operate in stacking mode, only the default VLAN is supported. All ports<br />

are automatically configured as untagged members of default VLAN 1. To configure additional VLANs in<br />

stacking mode, use the vlan tagged and vlan untagged commands.<br />

Table 10-1 lists the defaults for VLANs in FTOS.<br />

Default VLAN<br />

When an Aggregator boots up, all interfaces are up in Layer 2 mode and placed in the default VLAN as<br />

untagged interfaces. Only untagged interfaces can belong to the default VLAN.<br />

By default, VLAN 1 is the default VLAN. To change the default VLAN ID, use the default vlan-id command<br />

in CONFIGURATION mode. You cannot delete the default VLAN.
