Configuring a super VLAN interface

As a best practice, do not configure VRRP for the VLAN interface of a super VLAN because the configuration affects network performance. For more information about VRRP, see High Availability Configuration Guide.

To configure a super VLAN interface:

Step

Command

Remarks

1. Enter system view.

system-view

N/A

2. Create a VLAN interface and enter its view.

interface vlan-interface vlan-interface-id

The vlan-interface-id argument must be the super VLAN ID.

3. Configure an IP address for the VLAN interface of the super VLAN.

  • Configure an IPv4 address:ip address ip-address { mask-length | mask } [ sub ]

  • Configure an IPv6 address:ipv6 address { ipv6-address prefix-length | ipv6-address/prefix-length }

By default, no IP address is configured for a VLAN interface.

4. (Optional.) Configure Layer 3 communication between sub-VLANs.

  • Enable local proxy ARP for devices that run IPv4 protocols:local-proxy-arp enable

  • Enable local proxy ND for devices that run IPv6 protocols:local-proxy-nd enable

By default:

  • Sub-VLANs cannot communicate with each other at Layer 3.

  • Local proxy ARP or ND is disabled.

For more information about local proxy ARP and proxy ND, see Layer 3—IP Services Configuration Guide.

For more information about local-proxy-arp enable and local-proxy-nd enable commands, see Layer 3—IP Services Command Reference.
