Example for Configuring Interface-based VLAN Assignment (Statically Configured Link Type)

Networking Requirements

In Figure 4-24, multiple user terminals are connected to switches in an enterprise. Users who use the same service all access the enterprise network using different devices.

To ensure communication security and avoid broadcast storms, the enterprise wants to allow users who use the same service to communicate with each other and isolate users who use different services.

Configure the switch with interface-based VLAN assignments and add interfaces connected to users who use the same service to the same VLAN. This way, users who use the same services can directly communicate, but users using different services cannot communicate over Layer 2.

Figure 4-24 Networking of interface-based VLAN assignment

Configuration Roadmap

Create VLANs and add interfaces connected to users using different services to different VLANs to isolate Layer 2 traffic.
Configure the type of link between SwitchA and SwitchB and VLANs to allow users who use the same service to communicate.

Procedure

Create VLAN 2 and VLAN 3 on SwitchA, and add interfaces connected to user terminals to different VLANs. The configuration of SwitchB is the same as that of SwitchA.

<HUAWEI> system-view
[HUAWEI] sysname SwitchA
[SwitchA] vlan batch 2 3
[SwitchA] interface gigabitethernet 0/0/1
[SwitchA-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] port link-type access
[SwitchA-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] port default vlan 2
[SwitchA-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] quit
[SwitchA] interface gigabitethernet 0/0/2
[SwitchA-GigabitEthernet0/0/2] port link-type access
[SwitchA-GigabitEthernet0/0/2] port default vlan 3
[SwitchA-GigabitEthernet0/0/2] quit

Configure the type of the interface connected to SwitchB on SwitchA and the allowed VLANs. The configuration of SwitchB is the same as that of SwitchA.

[SwitchA] interface gigabitethernet 0/0/3
[SwitchA-GigabitEthernet0/0/3] port link-type trunk
[SwitchA-GigabitEthernet0/0/3] port trunk allow-pass vlan 2 3

Verify the configuration.
Add User1 and User2 to the same IP address segment, for example, 192.168.100.0/24; add User3 and User4 to the same IP address segment, for example, 192.168.200.0/24.

Only User1's and User2's terminals can ping each other, and only User3's and User4's terminals can ping each other.
