VLAN Configuration
This chapter deals with port-based VLANs that Cisco and D-Link switches support.

Terminology

Cisco D-Link Description

Trunking Port Tagged Port This port carries multiple 802.1Q tagged VLANs that are usually
used for uplink and IP phone ports.
Access Port Untagged Port A port which is an untagged member of a VLAN.
Native VLAN Untagged In a Cisco VLAN trunk, traffic belonging to the native vlan is not
Membership of included in the VLAN trunk. That is, the untagged frames
Physical Ports received by VLAN trunking port, will be assigned the access
VLAN ID of this port.
By default, all VLAN membership of D-Link switches and access
VLAN in Cisco switches is VLAN 1.

D-Link management switches.

Command Example Purpose

Catalyst# config terminal To create VLAN
Step 1 Catalyst(config)# vlan 10,20,30 interfaces for ports
Catalyst(config-vlan)# exit 10, 20 and 30.
Catalyst(config)# interface range gigabitEthernet
1/0/1-6
Catalyst(config-if)# switchport mode access
Catalyst(config-if)# switchport access vlan 10
Catalyst(config-if)# exit

Catalyst(config)# interface range gigabitEthernet

To change ports to
1/0/7-12
access mode and
Step 2 Catalyst(config-if)# switchport mode access
assign membership
Catalyst(config-if)# switchport access vlan 20
for each VLAN.
Catalyst(config-if)# exit

Catalyst(config)# interface range gigabitEthernet

1/0/13-18
Catalyst(config-if)# switchport mode access
Catalyst(config-if)# switchport access vlan 30
Catalyst(config-if)# exit
Catalyst(config)# interface gigabitEthernet 1/0/21
Catalyst(config-if)# switchport trunk encapsulation
dot1q
To create a VLAN
Step 3 Catalyst(config-if)# switchport trunk allowed vlan
trunking port.
1,10,20,30
Catalyst(config-if)# switchport mode trunk
Catalyst(config-if)# exit

Note: By default a Cisco VLAN trunk sends to and receives traffic from all VLANs. To restrict
the traffic a VLAN trunk carries, remove vlan-list parameter to remove specific VLANs
from the allowed list.

Note: By default, all ports of a Cisco switch belong to VLAN 1, access mode.

IP Configuration on a Cisco Switch

The following configuration example is for L3 switches. For layer 3 switches, an IP address has
to be defined for each VLAN and for a layer 2 switch, an IP address can only be configured on one
VLAN for management purposes.

Command Example Purpose

Catalyst(config)# interface vlan 1
Catalyst(config-vlan)# ip address 192.168.0.1
255.255.255.0
Catalyst(config-vlan)# no shutdown
Catalyst(config-vlan)# exit
To configure the IP
Step 4 addresses for the
Catalyst(config)# interface vlan 10
VLAN interfaces.
Catalyst(config-vlan)# ip address 192.168.10.1
255.255.255.0
Catalyst(config-vlan)# no shutdown
Catalyst(config-vlan)# exit

Catalyst(config)# interface vlan 20

Catalyst(config-vlan)# ip address 192.168.20.1
255.255.255.0
Catalyst(config-vlan)# no shutdown
Catalyst(config-vlan)# exit

Catalyst(config)# interface vlan 30

Catalyst(config-vlan)# ip address 192.168.30.1
255.255.255.0
Catalyst(config-vlan)# no shutdown
Catalyst(config-vlan)# exit

VLAN Configuration on a D-Link Switch

In this example, ports 1 to 18 are removed from VLAN 1(default VLAN) and are assigned to each
VLAN. Here are the details:
• Ports 1 to 6 are assigned to VLAN 10.
• Ports 7 to 12 are assigned to VLAN 20.
• Ports 13 to 18 are assigned to VLAN 30.
• Port 21 (uplink) is tagged with VLAN 10, 20, 30 and belongs to an untagged member of
VLAN 1.

Command Example Purpose

switch# create vlan 10 tag 10
switch# create vlan 20 tag 20
switch# create vlan 30 tag 30
To create VLAN
switch# config vlan default delete 1-18
interfaces for ports
Step 1 switch# config vlan 10 add untagged 1-6
10, 20, 30 and assign
switch# config vlan 20 add untagged 7-12
port membership.
switch# config vlan 30 add untagged 13-18
switch# config vlan 10 add tagged 19-21
switch# config vlan 20 add tagged 19-21
switch# config vlan 30 add tagged 19-21

IP Configuration on a D-Link Switch

The following configuration example is for L3 switches.

For layer 3 switches, an IP address has to be defined for each VLAN and for a layer 2 switch, only
system IP address has to be defined.

Command Example Purpose

switch# config ipif System ipaddress 192.168.0.2/24
To configure the IP
switch# create ipif 10 192.168.10.2/24 10
Step 2 addresses for the
switch# create ipif 20 192.168.20.2/24 20
VLAN interfaces.
switch# create ipif 30 192.168.30.2/24 30

Cisco and D-Link switches.

Link Aggregation
This chapter deals with Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) function that both Cisco and
D-Link switches support.

Terminology

Cisco D-Link Description

Channel-group ID Group ID ID of a port aggregation group.
Port-channel Link Aggregation Group A logical port aggregation group.

Link Aggregation Group

Cisco defines the Aggregation group as Port-channel and is configured as the Interface
Port-channel x. The default Port-channel mode is Static trunk, and the LACP mode for a
dynamic trunk. On the other hand, D-Link calls it Link Aggregation Group and is configured
as type static for a Static trunk or type LACP for a dynamic trunk.

Static and Dynamic Trunks/Channels

In between two switches, a static trunk becomes an active trunk unconditionally and
independently of the other switch’s configuration. A static trunk does not require any protocols.

A dynamic trunk is active only when the dynamic trunk is enabled in both D-Link and Cisco
switches. To do so, the switches exchange messages, either through Port aggregation protocol
(PAgP) or Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP), to negotiate their status. If either of the
switches are ‘active’ (LACP) or ‘desirable’ (PAgP), then the switch initiates negotiation. If the
switch is ‘passive’ (LACP) or ‘auto’ (PAgP) then it forms a link aggregation automatically.

LACP
LACP is the Link Aggregation Control Protocol defined by the 802.3ad standard. It provides a
way for both parts to negotiate a port aggregation. With LACP, one or more additional links can
operate as standby links that will activate only if another active link goes down.
When connecting two switches with LACP, one of the switches must be active (send LACP frames)
and another should be set to passive.

Compatibility between D-Link Port-trunking and Cisco Port-Channel

The following table summarizes the options that can be combined to create a trunk on both
D-Link and Cisco switches.
Cisco Mode
D-Link Mode On Mode Passive Mode Active
Type-Mode

Static 9

LACP-Passive 9

LACP- Active 9

Note: All ports in a trunk group must be configured at the same speed and VLAN.

Terminology

Cisco D-Link Description

Port Fast Edge Port Bypassing the listening and learning states, this port changes
its state from blocking to forwarding directly to speed-up
Spanning tree protocol (STP) convergence.

Note: Since STP/RSTP function can only run in a single VLAN, all connections on Per-VLAN
Spanning Tree (PVST) should be located in the same VLAN.
