Example: Setting Up Basic Bridging and a VLAN on the QFX Series

The QFX Series products use bridging and virtual LANs (VLANs) to connect network devices—storage devices, file servers, and other LAN components—in a LAN and to segment the LAN into smaller bridging domains.

To segment traffic on a LAN into separate broadcast domains, you create separate virtual LANs (VLANs) on a switch. Each VLAN is a collection of network nodes. When you use VLANs, frames whose origin and destination are in the same VLAN are forwarded only within the local VLAN, and only frames not destined for the local VLAN are forwarded to other broadcast domains. VLANs thus limit the amount of traffic flowing across the entire LAN, reducing the possible number of collisions and packet retransmissions within the LAN.

This example describes how to configure basic bridging and VLANs for the QFX Series:

Requirements

This example uses the following software and hardware components:

  • Junos OS Release 11.1 or later for the QFX Series
  • A configured and provisioned QFX Series product

Overview and Topology

To use a switch to connect network devices on a LAN, you must at a minimum configure bridging and VLANs. By default, bridging is enabled on all switch interfaces, all interfaces are in access mode, and all interfaces belong to a VLAN called employee-vlan, which is automatically configured. When you plug in access devices—such as desktop computers, file servers, and printers—they are joined immediately into the employee-vlan VLAN, and the LAN is up and running.

The topology used in this example consists of a single QFX3500 switch, with a total of 48 10-Gbps Ethernet ports. (For the purposes of this example, the QSFP+ ports Q0-Q3, which are ports xe-0/1/0 through xe-0/1/15, are excluded.) You use the ports to connect devices that have their own power sources. Table 1 details the topology used in this configuration example.

Step-by-Step Procedure

To set up basic bridging and a VLAN:

  1. Create a VLAN named employee-vlan and specify the VLAN ID of 10 for it:
    [edit vlans]
    user@switch# set employee-vlan vlan-id 10
  2. Assign interfaces xe-0/0/0 through xe-0/0/40 to the employee-vlan VLAN:
    [edit interface]
    user@switch# set xe-0/0/0 unit 0 family ethernet-switching vlan members employee-vlan
    user@switch# set xe-0/0/1 unit 0 family ethernet-switching vlan members employee-vlan

  3. Connect the two file servers to ports xe-0/0/17 and xe-0/0/18.
  4. Connect the desktop PCs and laptops to ports xe-0/0/0 through xe-0/0/16.
  5. Connect the integrated printer/fax/copier machines to ports xe-0/0/19 through xe-0/0/40.

Verification

To verify that switching is operational and that employee-vlan has been created, perform these tasks:

Verifying That the VLAN Has Been Created

Purpose

Verify that the VLAN named employee-vlan has been created on the switch.

Action

List all VLANs configured on the switch:

Meaning

The show vlans command lists the VLANs configured on the switch. This output shows that the VLAN employee-vlan has been created.

Verifying That Interfaces Are Associated with the Proper VLANs

Purpose

Verify that Ethernet switching is enabled on switch interfaces and that all interfaces are included in the VLAN.

Action

List all interfaces on which switching is enabled:

Meaning

The show ethernet-switching interfaces command lists all interfaces on which switching is enabled (in the Logical interface column), along with the VLANs that are active on the interfaces (in the VLAN members column). The output in this example shows all the connected interfaces, xe-0/0/0 through xe-0/0/40, are all part of VLAN employee-vlan. Notice that the interfaces listed are the logical interfaces, not the physical interfaces. For example, the output shows xe-0/0/0.0 instead of xe-0/0/0. This is because Junos OS creates VLANs on logical interfaces, not directly on physical interfaces.
