Configuring VLANs on a HPE Aruba (ProCurve) Switches, Cisco Switches (IOS), Dell Networking (OS6, OS9, OS10)

blog.payperitem.com, March 31, 2025April 2, 2025

HPE switches use ProVision (old) or AOS-CX (newer models).

Layer 2 Configuration (HPE Aruba ProCurve)

  1. Create VLANs bash configure terminal vlan 10 name HR vlan 20 name IT exit
  2. Assign Ports to VLANs
    • Access Mode bash interface 1 untagged vlan 10 interface 2 untagged vlan 20 exit
    • Trunk Mode (Tagged) bash interface 24 tagged vlan 10,20 exit
  3. Verify Configuration bash show vlan

Layer 3 Configuration (HPE Aruba ProCurve)

  1. Enable Routing Editconfigure terminal ip routing
  2. Assign VLAN IPs bashCopyEditvlan 10 ip address 192.168.10.1 255.255.255.0 vlan 20 ip address 192.168.20.1 255.255.255.0 exit
  3. Assign Physical Ports to VLANs bash interface 1 untagged vlan 10 interface 2 untagged vlan 20 exit
  4. Set Default Route (If Needed) bash ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1
  5. Verify Configuration bash show ip route

2. Dell Networking (OS6, OS9, OS10)

Dell switches can run different operating systems, so commands vary.

Layer 2 Configuration (Dell OS6 & OS9)

  1. Create VLANs bash configure vlan database vlan 10,20 exit
  2. Assign VLANs to Ports
    • Access Mode bash interface gigabitethernet 1/0/1 switchport mode access switchport access vlan 10 exit
    • Trunk Mode bash interface gigabitethernet 1/0/24 switchport mode trunk switchport trunk allowed vlan 10,20 exit
  3. Verify VLAN Configuration bash show vlan

Layer 3 Configuration (Dell OS6 & OS9)

  1. Enable Routing bash configure ip routing
  2. Assign VLANs to Interfaces bash interface vlan 10 ip address 192.168.10.1 255.255.255.0 exit interface vlan 20 ip address 192.168.20.1 255.255.255.0 exit
  3. Assign Physical Ports to VLANs bash interface gigabitethernet 1/0/1 switchport mode access switchport access vlan 10 exit interface gigabitethernet 1/0/2 switchport mode access switchport access vlan 20 exit
  4. Set Default Route bash ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1
  5. Verify Routing bash show ip route

3. Cisco Switches (IOS)

Layer 2 Configuration

  1. Create VLANs bash configure terminal vlan 10 name HR vlan 20 name IT exit
  2. Assign Ports bash interface GigabitEthernet0/1 switchport mode access switchport access vlan 10 exit interface GigabitEthernet0/2 switchport mode access switchport access vlan 20 exit
  3. Trunk Port bash interface GigabitEthernet0/24 switchport mode trunk switchport trunk allowed vlan 10,20 exit
  4. Verify VLAN bash show vlan brief

Layer 3 Configuration

  1. Enable Routing bash configure terminal ip routing
  2. Assign VLAN IPs bash interface Vlan10 ip address 192.168.10.1 255.255.255.0 no shutdown interface Vlan20 ip address 192.168.20.1 255.255.255.0 no shutdown
  3. Assign Physical Ports bash interface GigabitEthernet0/1 switchport mode access switchport access vlan 10 exit interface GigabitEthernet0/2 switchport mode access switchport access vlan 20 exit
  4. Set Default Route bash ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1
  5. Verify Configuration bash show ip route
