Switching and Routing

When configuring on a switch, all ports are dynamically allocated to the VLAN. You can modify port membership

by using the static or exclude commands.

When configuring on a Brocade router, ports must be added to the VLAN with the static command. Ports are

not dynamically allocated to IPX network VLANs.

To create an IPX network VLAN with a network number of 500 and frame type of 802.2 with permanent port

membership of 10 and 14 within port-based VLAN 15, enter commands such as the following:

ServerIron(config)#vlan 15

ServerIron(config-vlan-15)#ipx-network 500 ethernet_802.2

ServerIron(config-vlan-ipx-proto)#static e 10 e 14

If configuring this on a switch, enter vlan 15 by port at the CONFIG Level versus vlan 15, as shown in the

example above.

Syntax: [no] ipx-network <ipx-network-number> <frame-type> [<name>]

Possible <frame-type> values include ethernet_ii, ethernet_802.2, ethernet_802.3, and ethernet_snap. The

<name> parameter can be up to 16 characters long and can contain blanks.

An IPX network and IPX protocol VLAN cannot both be configured to operate simultaneously on a Brocade switch

or router. This restriction is also true for IP protocol and IP sub-net VLANs.

Configuring an IPX Protocol VLAN

You can create an IPX protocol VLAN on a ServerIron within a port-based VLAN, when entered at the VLAN

Level.

When configuring on a switch, all ports are dynamically allocated to the VLAN. You can modify port membership

by using the static or exclude commands.

If configuring on a Brocade router, ports must be added to the VLAN with the static command. Ports are not

dynamically allocated to IPX protocol VLANs.

To assign ports 1, 2, 6 and 8 to an IPX protocol VLAN within port-based VLAN 22, enter commands such as the

following:

ServerIron(config)#vlan 22

ServerIron(config-vlan-22)#ipx-proto

ServerIron(config-vlan-ipx-proto)#static e 1 to 2 e 6 e 8

If configuring this on a switch, enter vlan 22 by port at the CONFIG Level versus vlan 22, as shown in the

example above.

Syntax: [no] ipx-proto [<name>]

The <name> can be up to 16 characters long and can contain blanks. To specify a VLAN name, use the name

keyword followed by a string. The name keyword and string are the last arguments in the command. The name

can contain blank spaces if you use double quotation marks before and after the name.

An IPX protocol and IPX network VLAN cannot both be configured to operate simultaneously on a Brocade switch

or router. This restriction is also true for IP and IP sub-net VLANs.

Configuring a NetBIOS Protocol VLAN

You can create a NetBIOS protocol VLAN. The name appears in VLAN show displays. All ports of the system are

assumed, by default, to be members of the VLAN when initially created. VLAN Membership can be modified

using the dynamic, static, or exclude commands.

To create a NetBIOS Protocol VLAN on an 18 port device with permanent port membership of 4 and 5 and ports 8

through 12 as dynamic member ports, enter commands such as the following:

ServerIron(config)#netbios-proto

ServerIron(config-netbios-proto)#static e4 e5

ServerIron(config-netbios-proto)#exclude e1 to 3 e6 e7 e13 to 18

Syntax: [no] netbios-proto [<name>]

1 2 ... 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 ... 61 62
