Isolate-user-VLAN configuration

Overview

An isolate-user-VLAN uses a two-tier VLAN structure. In this approach, the following types of VLANs,

isolate-user-VLAN and secondary VLAN, are configured on the same device.
The following are the characteristics of the isolate-user-VLAN implementation:

Isolate-user-VLANs are mainly used for upstream data exchange. An isolate-user-VLAN can be
associated with multiple secondary VLANs. As the upstream device identifies only the

isolate-user-VLAN and not the secondary VLANs, network configuration is simplified and VLAN
resources are saved.

You can isolate the Layer 2 traffic of different users by assigning the ports connected to them to
different secondary VLANs. To enable communication between secondary VLANs associated with

the same isolate-user-VLAN, you can enable local proxy ARP on the upstream device (for example,

Device A in

Figure 45

) to realize Layer 3 communication between the secondary VLANs.

As shown in

Figure 45

, the isolate-user-VLAN function is enabled on Device B. VLAN 10 is the

isolate-user-VLAN. VLAN 2, VLAN 5, and VLAN 8 are secondary VLANs associated with VLAN 10 and

are invisible to Device A.

Configuring an isolate-user-VLAN

To configure an isolate-user-VLAN, complete the following tasks:

1.

Configure the isolate-user-VLAN.

2.

Configure the secondary VLANs.

3.

Configure uplink and downlink ports:

{

Configure the uplink ports, for example, the port connecting Device B to Device A in

Figure 45

,

to work in promiscuous mode in the specified VLAN, so that the uplink ports can be added to

the specified isolate-user-VLAN and the secondary VLANs associated with the

isolate-user-VLAN synchronously.
