VLANIF Port

When a switch needs to communicate with the devices at the network layer, you can create a logical interface based on a VLAN on the switch, namely, a VLANIF interface. The VLANIF interface is a configured interface and does not exist physically.

Context

A VLANIF interface is an interface at the network layer and can be configured with an IP address. Before configuring a VLANIF interface, you must create the corresponding VLAN. The switch then uses the VLANIF interface to communicate with the devices at the network layer.

CAUTION:

You can also access this page by choosing Interface Management > VLANIF page. The navigation path provided here enables you to configure VLANIF interfaces directly after configuring VLANs.

Procedure

Query VLANIF interface information.
1. Choose Service Management > VLAN > VLANIF port in the navigation tree to open the VLANIF port page.
2. Enter the number of the interface that you want to query, for example, 10. If you do not enter any interface number, all VLANIF interfaces are displayed.
3. Click Query to display all matching records.
4. Select a record and click Details to view details about the record.
  NOTE:
  To view real-time interface information, click on the VLANIF port tag in the navigation page to refresh.

Create a VLANIF interface.

Choose Service Management > VLAN > VLANIF port in the navigation tree to open the VLANIF port page.

Click New to open the Create VLANIF page.

Table 1 describes the parameters on the page.
