BigIron RX(config-lag-3)# deploy
5. Assign a name to an individual port within LAG 3 by entering the following commands.
BigIron RX(config-lag-2)# port-name lag-client-2:1/1 ethernet 1/5
BigIron RX(config-lag-2)# port-name lag-client-1:1/2 ethernet 1/4
Enabling Layer 2 switching
By default, the BigIron RX devices support routing over Layer 2 switching. You can enable Layer 2
switching globally or on individual ports using the no route-only command. The no route-only and
route-only commands allow you to change the route-only behavior. To enable Layer 2 switching only
on a specific interface, enter the no route-only command at the interface configuration level.
NOTE
By default, the route-only command is disabled on the BigIron RX devices.
To enable Layer 2 switching, enter the following command.
BigIron RX(config)# no route-only
Syntax: [no] route-only
Creating VLANs for client traffic
You must create VLANs and assign ports to the VLANs. To create VLANs, perform the following
steps.
1. At the global configuration level, assign an ID to the VLAN.
BigIron RX(config)# vlan 2
Syntax: [no] vlan <vlan-id>
The <vlan-id> variable specifies the VLAN ID.
2. Add the client ports to the VLAN as either tagged or untagged. In the following example the
client ports are untagged.
BigIron RX(config-vlan-2)# untagged ethernet 1/3 to 1/5
Syntax: [no] untagged ethernet <slot/port> to <slot/port>
The ethernet <slot/port> parameter specifies the range of ports that are to be untagged.
3. Add the ICL ports or a LAG to the VLAN as tagged. ICL ports cannot be untagged in any VLAN
and are automatically removed from the default VLAN upon MCT cluster configuration.
BigIron RX(config-vlan-2)# tagged ethernet 1/1 to 1/2
Syntax: [no] tagged ethernet <slot/port> to <slot/port>
The ethernet <slot/port> parameter specifies the range of ports that are to be tagged.
Creating the session VLAN
You must create session VLANs and assign only ICL ports to the session VLANs. To create the
session VLANs, perform the following steps.
1. At the global configuration level, assign an ID to the VLAN.
BigIron RX(config)# vlan 4090 name Session-VLAN
Syntax: [no] vlan <vlan-id> name <vlan-name>
