Configuring VLANs on H3C Core Switches

VLANs on an H3C switch are configured by creating VLANs, assigning ports to VLANs, and optionally configuring VLAN interfaces for Layer 3 communication.Step 1: Enter System ViewConnect to your H3C switch via SSH, Telnet, or console. Enter system view to start configuration:CodeCopy system-view Step 2: Create VLANsCreate the VLANs you need. For example, to create VLAN 10 and VLAN 20:CodeCopy vlan 10[H3C-vlan10] quit vlan 20[H3C-vlan20] quit You can also assign names or descriptions to VLANs:CodeCopy vlan 10 name Sales vlan 20 name Engineering Step 3: Assign Ports to VLANsAccess PortsTo assign a port to a VLAN as an access port:CodeCopy interface GigabitEthernet 1/0/1[H3C-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] port link-type access[H3C-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] port default vlan 10 Trunk PortsTo allow multiple VLANs on a trunk port:CodeCopy interface GigabitEthernet 1/0/2[H3C-GigabitEthernet1/0/2] port link-type trunk[H3C-GigabitEthernet1/0/2] port trunk permit vlan 10 20 Hybrid PortsHybrid ports can carry both tagged and untagged VLANs:CodeCopy interface GigabitEthernet 1/0/3[H3C-GigabitEthernet1/0/3] port link-type hybrid[H3C-GigabitEthernet1/0/3] port hybrid vlan 10 untagged[H3C-GigabitEthernet1/0/3] port hybrid vlan 20 tagged Step 4: Configure VLAN Interfaces (Optional for Layer 3)To enable inter-VLAN routing, create a VLAN interface and assign an IP address:CodeCopy interface Vlan-interface 10[H3C-Vlan-interface10] ip address 192.168.10.1 255.255.255.0[H3C-Vlan-interface10] quit interface Vlan-interface 20[H3C-Vlan-interface20] ip address 192.168.20.1 255.255.255.0 These interfaces act as gateways for devices in each VLAN.Step 5: Save ConfigurationAfter completing VLAN and port assignments, save the configuration to prevent loss after reboot:CodeCopy save Step 6: Optional MAC-Based VLANsH3C switches support MAC-based VLANs, which assign VLANs based on device MAC addresses. This is useful for user-based VLANs:Create MAC-to-VLAN entries.Enable MAC-based VLAN on the port.Assign the port to the MAC-based VLAN. This ensures devices are automatically placed in the correct VLAN regardless of physical port location.Step 7: VerificationCheck VLANs and port assignments:CodeCopy display vlan display vlan interface GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 Check VLAN interface IPs:CodeCopy display ip interface brief By following these steps, you can configure VLANs on an H3C core switch, assign ports as access, trunk, or hybrid, and optionally enable Layer 3 routing between VLANs for inter-VLAN communication .
