To create VLANs on Gaia, one can use either the Gaia Portal, or the Gaia Clish shell.
Important Note: On Security Gateway in VSX mode, VLAN interfaces must be created via SmartDashboard in the object of VSX Gateway / VSX Cluster.
Performing the procedure from Clish provides the ability to mass copy/paste the commands necessary to quickly create a large number of VLANs.
When creating VLAN interfaces via Clish, the following commands should be used:
- Bringing on the Physical interface, on which the VLAN interfaces will be created:
Note: This command may be skipped, if the interface's state is already on.HostName> set interface <Name_of_Physical_Interface> state on - Adding a VLAN interface:
HostName> add interface <Name_of_Physical_Interface> vlan <VLAN_ID> - Assigning an IP address to newly created VLAN interface:
HostName> set interface <Name_of_VLAN_Interface> ipv4-address <IP_Address> mask-length <Subnet_Mask_Length> - Saving the configuration (so it survives reboot):
HostName> save config
Example:
- Physical interface - eth1
- VLAN interface - eth1.100
- VLAN IP address - 192.168.1.1 / 24
Required Clish commands:
HostName> set interface eth1 state on HostName> add interface eth1 vlan 100 HostName> set interface eth1.100 ipv4-address 192.168.1.1 mask-length 24 HostName> save config
Note: Users can have all the required commands listed out in a simple text editor (Notepad, Notepad++, Notepad2, PSPad, etc) and then paste them directly into the Clish command line at once to easily and quickly add all the necessary VLAN interfaces.
