CONFIGURING VLAN AGGREGATION
 GENERAL INFOS AND APPLICATION
ENVIRONMENT
Vlan aggregation is a feature that prevents the
waste of IP addresses and implements inter-vlan
VLAN7 VLAN5
communication in enterprise network environment.
Using vlan aggregation, you need to configure IP VLAN10
address only in super-vlan interface, without having VLANIF:100.1.1.1/24
to assign IP addresses for each of the sub-vlans: all
sub-vlans share the same IP network-segment. PC1 PC2 PC3 PC4
In our example we will assume a simple
configuration scenario: on an enterprise network, we
have different departments belonging to different VLAN7 VLAN5
vlans; employees in different departments need to Department A Department B
communicate with ech other. As shown in the picture,
the super-vlan will be VLAN 10 and the sub-vlans
will be VLAN 5 and VLAN 7. The PCs IP addresses
are in the same IP network segment and are shown PC1 IP address: 100.1.1.2/24
in the table. PC2 IP address: 100.1.1.3/24
PC3 IP address: 100.1.1.4/24
PC4 IP address: 100.1.1.5/24

2. Configure vlan 7 and vlan 5

Create and enter the vlan view

[Huawei] vlan 7
Add physical ports to vlan
[Huawei-vlan7] port GigabitEthernet 0/0/1 0/0/2
[Huawei-vlan7] quit
Exit the vlan view
[Huawei] vlan 5
[Huawei-vlan5] port GigabitEthernet 0/0/3 0/0/4
[Huawei-vlan5] quit

 ADDING THE SUB-VLANS TO A SUPER-
VLAN
3. Configure the super-vlan

Enter the vlan view

[Huawei] vlan 10 Configure the vlan as a super-vlan

[Huawei-vlan10] aggregate-vlan
Add the sub-vlans to the super-vlan
[Huawei-vlan10] access-vlan 5 7
[Huawei-vlan10] quit Exit the vlan view
 CONFIGURING THE IP-ADDRESS FOR THE
SUPER-VLAN
4. Configure the vlanif interface for the super-vlan

Enter the vlanif view

[Huawei] interface vlanif 10
[Huawei-Vlanif10] ip address 100.1.1.1 24 Configure the ip address for the vlanif

[Huawei-Vlanif10] quit Exit the vlanif view

 CONFIGURING PROXY ARP FOR THE
SUPER-VLAN
5. Configure proxy arp
Enter the vlanif view
[Huawei] interface vlanif 10
[Huawei-Vlanif10] arp-proxy inter-sub-vlan-proxy enable Enable the proxy arp

[Huawei-Vlanif10] quit Exit the vlanif view

6. Verify the configuration (vlan 5 is reachable from vlan 7)
