NetScaler: Working with VLANs

Creating or Modifying a VLAN

To configure a VLAN, you create a VLAN entity, and then bind network interfaces and IP addresses to the VLAN. If you remove a VLAN, its member interfaces are added to the default VLAN.

To create a VLAN by using the command line interface

At the command prompt, type:

add vlan <id> [-aliasName <string>] [-ipv6DynamicRouting (ENABLED|DISABLED)]

Example

> add vlan 2 –aliasName “Network A”
Done

To bind an interface to a VLAN by using the command line interface

At the command prompt, type:

bind vlan <id> -ifnum <slot/port>

Example

> bind vlan 2 -ifnum 1/8

Done

To bind an IP address to a VLAN by using the command line interface

At the command prompt, type:

bind vlan <id> -IPAddress <IPAddress> <netMask>

Example

> bind vlan 2 -IPAddress 10.102.29.54 255.255.255.0
 Done

To remove a VLAN by using the command line interface

At the command prompt, type:

rm vlan <id>

To configure a VLAN by using the configuration utility

1. Navigate to Network > VLANs.
2. In the details pane, do one of the following:
   • To create a new VLAN, click Add.
   • To modify an existing VLAN, click Open.
3. In the Add VLAN or Configure/Modify VLAN dialog box, set the parameters. For a description of a parameter, hover the mouse cursor over the corresponding field.
4. To bind an IP address to a VLAN, under IPs, select the Active check box corresponding to the IP address that you want to bind to the VLAN (for example,10.102.29.54). The Type column displays the IP address type (such as mapped IP, virtual IP, or subnet IP) for each IP address in the IP Addresses column.
5. To bind a network interface to a VLAN, under Interfaces, select the Active check box corresponding to the interface that you want to bind to the VLAN (for example, 1/8).
6. Click Create or OK, and then click Close.
