====== Foundry VLAN Howto ======

We have a cable connected to port 7 of the interface number 2 of a Foundry Bigiron switch. We want to setup this port and connect it to a specific VLAN. These are the steps.


===== Procedure =====

  * Telnet to switch

      $telnet switch
      passwd = ....

  * Enable super user mode

     > enable 
       passwd = ....

  * Enter configuration mode

     > configure terminal

  * Display the actual settings for the port 2/7

     > show interfaces ethernet 2/7

  * Display the list of VLANs to see what VLAN number we want to use

     > show vlan

  * Enter configuration mode for a specific vlan (e.g. vlan number 822)

     > vlan 822

  * Connect the port 2/7 to the current vlan (822)

     > untagged ethernet 2/7

  * Exit the configuration of the vlan 822

     > exit

  * Save new configuration

     > write memory

  * Final check the new settings of the port 2/7

     > show vlan ethernet 2/7



===== Appendix : Removing an interface/port from a vlan =====


Before adding some port to a vlan , you must make sure that the port is not currently connected to any vlan.

To check that port 2/8 is not connected to any vlan , type :

    > show vlan ethernet 2/8

If the port is connected to the default vlan then you can go ahead and attach this port to a specific vlan.

To remove a port from a vlan, check the number of the vlan that the port is attached to by issuing the command

    > show vlan ethernet 2/8

Then, enter the configuration mode of the vlan, eg :

    > vlan 3504

Then if the port is attached to the vlan as a tagged port

    > no tagged ethernet 2/8

if the port is untagged

    > no untagged ethernet 2/8

finaly exit the vlan configuration mode and save

   > exit
   > write memory
