Create Member Ports

This example shows ports 0/2-5 being added to VLAN 2.

1. Enter the VLAN configuration mode for VLAN 2.

   SEFOS# configure terminal
   SEFOS(config)# vlan 2

2. Add member ports to the VLAN.

   SEFOS(config-vlan)# ports extreme-ethernet 0/2-5 untagged ex 0/3
   SEFOS(config-vlan)# end

   Note - You can use ex as a replacement for extreme-ethernet, as in the preceding syntax.

   Member ports represent the set of ports permanently assigned to the VLAN egress list. Frames belonging to the specified VLAN are forwarded to the ports in the egress list.

   If one of the port types is not explicitly specified as untagged, then all of the ports are configured as tagged port types, allowing the transmission of frames with the specified VLAN tag. The untagged setting allows the port to transmit the frames without a vlan tag. This setting is used for devices that cannot support VLAN.

   In the preceding example, the egress packets for the extreme-ethernet 0/3 interface are transmitted without the tag, but on all of the other ports, the packets are transmitted with the tag.
