Add multiple VLAN to a TRUNK\PORT

Hi guys,

this is my first time using these switched (i've worked with Cisco, Juniper and Ubiquiti in the past), my main concern is to add new VLANs to an existing trunk, but command line are not so friendly on these switches :D

OS version is this one: Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise OS6900-T40 8.6.299.R01

This is a snapshot of current VLAN stuff (only members):

Code: Select all

vlan 243 members port 1/1/2 tagged
vlan 243 members port 1/2/1-10 tagged
vlan 243 members port 2/1/2 tagged
vlan 243 members port 2/2/1-10 tagged
vlan 243 members linkagg 11-12 tagged
vlan 998 members port 1/1/2 tagged
vlan 998 members port 1/2/1-10 tagged
vlan 998 members port 2/1/2 tagged
vlan 998 members port 2/2/1-10 tagged
vlan 998 members linkagg 11-12 tagged
vlan 999 members port 1/1/2 tagged
vlan 999 members port 1/2/1-10 tagged
vlan 999 members port 2/1/2 tagged
vlan 999 members port 2/2/1-10 tagged
vlan 999 members linkagg 11-12 tagged
I've created a new VLAN (800) and I want to add it to linkagg 11-12 (it's a trunk that goes to a firewall), so I just need to do these commands?

Code: Select all

vlan 800 members linkagg 11-12 tagged
Is this command distruptive? I mean if it can create a little downtime (coming from Cisco I know what I'm doing, but there no :D)

Thanks in advance!

The command is correct. There will be no interuption. The new vlan will be tagged at the LAG on top of the other ones .

Thanks Silvio!

Is it possible to put the hostname on the ssh prompt? I’ve just “->” that make recognize the device where I’m connected when doing commands..

Thanks again!

Hello Stich, are you me?
I've also come from those vendors and I had the same self-comment that you did at the beginning so I see myself in you :)

Let me add that -in case you are not an ALE partner- you can find the CLI guides and other manuals in the resources section from Spacewalkers:
https://www.spacewalkers.com/resources
Some examples:
CLI guide
Management guide
Network configuration guide
Advanced routing guide

These helped me quite a lot and now I'm much more comfortable with this vendor! Hope this helps!

And you should logout and login again to make it take effect.
