Static and Dynamic VLAN Membership Explained

There are two types of VLAN membership: static and dynamic. In the static method, administrators manually add switch ports to VLANs. In the dynamic method, the switch automatically assigns appropriate VLANs to ports.

What VLAN membership is

A VLAN is a group of devices that share broadcast messages. By default, switches have only one VLAN, called VLAN-1. However, you can create and configure additional VLANs to limit broadcast messages and logically arrange devices in groups. After creating VLANs, you need to add desired ports to VLANs. VLAN membership is an authorization to be part of the VLAN. There are two ways to assign VLAN membership to switch ports: Static and Dynamic.

Static VLAN membership

It is an easy and straightforward method. In it, you manually add ports to VLANs. VLANs configured in this way are typically called port-based VLANs .

Let us take an example.

The following image shows an 8-port switch. With the default configuration, all ports belong to the same broadcast domain.

default vlan

Now, suppose you want to break this network into two broadcast domains. You create two VLANs: VLAN-10 and VLAN-20 . You enter the sub-configuration mode of ports and configure VLANs. You configure VLAN-10 on ports 1, 2, 3, and 4, and VLAN-20 on ports 5, 6, 7, and 8. It is an example of static VLAN membership.

Advantages of static VLAN membership

The main advantages of static VLAN membership are the following.

Easy configuration

Configuring a static VLAN membership is easy. To configure a static VLAN membership, you run only one command [switch(config-if)#switchport access vlan VLAN_ID ] in the sub-interface configuration mode.

Easy management

Managing static VLAN membership is also easy. From the sub-interface configuration mode of the port, you can easily add, update, and remove VLAN membership.

Since you manually add, update, and remove static VLAN membership on all ports, the static VLAN membership is more secure than the dynamic VLAN membership.

Availability

Static VLANs are available on almost all Cisco switches. You do not need any high-end Cisco switch to use them. You can configure and use them on existing Cisco switches.

Disadvantages of static VLAN membership

The disadvantages of static VLANs are the following.

Scalability

Static VLAN membership is not scalable. If your network is small, you can choose it because of its easy configuration. But if your network is big, you can not use it alone. For example, if your network has thousands of devices, assigning and managing static VLAN membership for these devices on switches will be a difficult task.

Static VLAN membership is not movable. If you move a PC from a switch port to another switch port, you need to manually remove the VLAN membership from the current port and add it to the new port.

Dynamic VLAN membership

Dynamic VLAN membership works on a server-client model. In this model, a policy server called the VLAN membership policy server (VMPS) saves VLAN mapping information. VLAN mapping information contains VLAN IDs and MAC addresses of end devices.

All other switches act as VLAN client switches. They forward MAC addresses to the VMPS switch. The VMPS switch finds VLAN ID associated with each MAC address and passes that ID to the VLAN client switch.

The following image shows a simple network. It uses dynamic VLAN membership.

dynamic vlan

In the above network, when you add PC2 to the VLAN client switch's port-2, it forwards PC2's MAC address to the VMPS switch. VMPS switch finds the VLAN ID related to PC2's MAC address and provides that ID to the VLAN client switch. The VLAN client switch assigns the received VLAN ID to port-2.

Now suppose, you remove PC2 from port-2 and attach it to port3. In this situation, the switch will take the following steps.

dynamic vlan example 2

  • It removes configured VLAN on port-2 as soon as you remove the connected device.
  • When you attach PC2 to port-3, it sends the PC2's MAC address to the VMPS switch.
  • VMPS switch finds the VLAN ID related to the PC2's MAC address and provides it to the VLAN client switch.
  • The VLAN client switch assigns the received VLAN ID to port-3.

Advantages of Dynamic VLAN membership

The advantages of dynamic VLAN membership are the following.

The main advantage of dynamic VLAN membership is movability. If you move an end device from a switch port to another switch port, the switch automatically updates the VLAN information on both ports.

Centralized management

Dynamic VLAN membership provides centralized management. You need to manage VLAN information only on the VMPS swtich. Other switches automatically receive the updated information from the VMPS swtich.

Fast implementation

Since VLAN client switches automatically implement dynamic VLAN membership, it is faster than static VLAN membership. In static VLAN membership, if you change VLAN information, you need to manually update that information on all ports. In dynamic VLAN membership, switches automatically update the information on all ports.

Disadvantages of Dynamic VLAN membership

The disadvantages of dynamic VLAN membership are the following.

Complex configuration

The configuration of dynamic VLAN membership is complex. You need to map the MAC addresses of all end devices to VLANs on the VMPS switch. You also need to configure all other switches to get VLAN information from the VMPS switch.

Add extra cost to the network

You cannot use low-end Cisco switches as VMPS server switch. You need a high-end Cisco switch such as Catalyst 6500 switch to configure VMPS. High-end Cisco switches are costly.

  • VLAN Port Assignment and VLAN Port Types

vlan port assignment

In this lesson, we will focus on some of the key lessons of VLANs. We will learn how to assign ports to VLAN, VLAN Port types and VLAn Tagging.

Table of Contents

Static and Dynamic VLAN Assignments

VLANs can be assigned statically and dynamically . Static configuration is more common, but dynamic is also used.

Static VLAN assignment is like its name. You will statically assign the ports to the VLAN.

Dynamic VLAN assignment can be done by VLAN Membership Policy Server(VMPS) . VMPS needs VLAN-MAC address relationship database. Here, we will use the static one, like many network engineer.

VLAN Port Types

There are two type port used in VLANs. These are: – Access Ports, – Trunk Ports

Access ports are the ports that are member of a single VLAN . Host devices are connected to it. This is also default Cisco switch port type.

Trunk ports are the ports that are member of more than one VLAN or all VLANs . This ports are used between switches. To span VLANs between more than one switch, some ports are needed to carry VLAN information accross the switches. These ports are trunk ports. You can also carry each VLAN without using any trunk port. But this way is not efficient and not common.

VLAN Frame Tagging

While carrying the frames between VLANs across multiple swithes, frame tagging is required. Because the other end switch need to understand that where the frame will go ( to which VLAN) on the other end. And tagging is used only for the frames going out a trunk port. This is not used for access ports, and anyway this is not necessary.

Chapter: Configuring VLAN RADIUS Attributes

Restrictions for vlan radius attributes in access requests, vlan radius attributes, configuring vlan radius attributes in access requests, verifying vlan radius attributes in access requests, example: configuring vlan radius attributes in access requests, example: verifying vlan radius attributes in access requests, feature history for vlan radius.

The VLAN RADIUS Attributes in Access Requests feature enhances the security for access switches with the use of VLAN RADIUS attributes (VLAN name and ID) in the access requests and with an extended VLAN name length of 128 characters.

Dynamic VLAN assignment to critical authentication (inaccessible authentication bypass or AAA fail policy) VLAN is not supported.

If the RADIUS server becomes unavailable during an 802.1x authentication exchange, the current exchange times out, and the switch uses critical access control lists (ACLs) during the next authentication attempt.

Information About VLAN RADIUS Attributes in Access Requests

Authentication prevents unauthorized devices (clients) from gaining access to the network by using different methods to define how users are authorized and authenticated for network access. To enhance security, you can limit network access for certain users by using VLAN assignment. Information available in the access-request packets sent to the authentication server (AAA or RADIUS server) validates the identity of the user and defines if a user can be allowed to access the network.

The VLAN RADIUS Attributes in Access Requests feature supports authentication using IEEE 802.1X, MAC authentication bypass (MAB), and web-based authentication (webauth). The default order for authentication methods is 802.1X, and then MAB, then web-based authentication. If required, you can change the order or disable any of these methods.

If MAC authentication bypass is enabled, the network device relays the client's MAC address to the AAA server for authorization. If the client's MAC address is valid, the authorization succeeds and the network device grants the client access to the network.

If web-based authentication is enabled, the network device sends an HTTP login page to the client. The network device relays the client's username and password to the AAA server for authorization. If the login succeeds, the network device grants the client access to the network.

While performing authentications, the VLAN RADIUS attributes (name and ID of the VLAN) assigned to the hosting port is included in the RADIUS access requests and accounting requests. The VLAN RADIUS Attributes in Access Requests feature supports VLAN names accommodating 128-character strings.

With the use of VLAN RADIUS attributes in authentication requests, clients are authorized based on existing VLAN segmented networks. The existing VLAN provisioning is used as an indication of the location.

Based on RFC 2868 (RADIUS Attributes for Tunnel Protocol Support), support is provided for standard RADIUS attributes that exist for specifying the tunnel-type, medium and identifier.

Tunnel-Type (IEFT #64) = VLAN

Tunnel-Medium-Type (IEFT #65) = 802 (6)

Tunnel-Private-Group-ID (IEFT #81) = [tag, string]

How to Configure VLAN RADIUS Attributes in Access Requests

To create an attribute filter-list and to bind an attribute filter-list with authentication and accounting requests, perform the following task:

  Command or Action Purpose

enable

Enter your password if prompted.

configure terminal

access-session attributes filter-list list
