Configuring High Availability VLANs on a Switch
This section describes how to use the Command Line Interface (CLI) commands to configure high
availability (HA) VLANs on a switch. For a brief tutorial on configuring HA VLANs, see “Quick Steps
for Creating High Availability VLANs” on page 5-3.
When configuring HA VLANs, you must perform the following steps:
1 Create a VLAN. To create a VLAN use the vlan command, which is described in “Creating and
Deleting VLANs” on page 5-6.
2 Assign VLAN member ports. To assign member ports to the VLAN, use the vlan members
untagged command which is described in “Changing the Default VLAN Assignment for a Port” on
page 4-6.
3 Create a server cluster and configure the mode. To create a server cluster and configure the cluster
mode, use the server-cluster command which is described in “Adding and Removing Server Cluster
Ports” on page 5-7.
4 Assign MAC Addresses. To assign MAC addresses to the HA VLAN server cluster, use the server-
cluster mac-address command, which is described in “Assigning and Removing MAC Addresses” on
page 5-8.
Creating and Deleting VLANs
The following subsections describe how to create and delete a VLAN with the vlan command.
Creating a VLAN
To create a new VLAN use the vlan command by entering vlan followed by the VLAN ID number. For
example, to create a VLAN with a VLAN ID number of 10 enter:
-> vlan 10
You can also specify the administrative status and a name for the VLAN with the vlan command. For
example, to administratively enable (the default) a VLAN when you configure it enter vlan followed by
the VLAN ID number and enable.
For example, to create VLAN 10 and administratively enable it enter:
-> vlan 10 enable
Note. Use the show server-cluster command to verify the HA VLAN configuration on the switch. See
“Displaying High Availability VLAN Status” on page 5-16 for more information.
Note. This section provides only a basic description of creating and deleting VLANs. For a complete
description of configuring and monitoring VLANs on a switch, please refer to Chapter 4, “Configuring
VLANs.”
