Examples of VLAN support in BCAM

A few simple examples of VLAN configurations are provided below. The starting point taken is a normal LAN configuration in order to illustrate the differences to a VLAN configuration and to derive the VLAN configuration on a step-by-step basis. These examples show what new VLAN commands are required for definition purposes and in how far analogies can be drawn between a LAN and a VLAN configuration.

In the examples in the sections below some abbreviations are used in the names of the various objects. Combinations of these abbreviations are also used.

DEVICE DV
NODE ND
LINE LN
VLAN VL

All examples are implemented with BCAM commands.
