Huawei – Router on a Stick (Router and Switch Config)

How to Configure Huawei router-on-a-stick

Requirements: The range on the host broadcast domain of communication can be reduced by VLAN configuration to the switch on the LAN. You can use a router that supports 802.1Q to realize interoperability of VLAN on the condition that part of the hosts need to communicate among VLAN while the switches doesn’t support the huawei three-layer switch, which requires the establishment of a sub-interface on the Ethernet port, assignment of the IP address as the related VLAN gateway, and start 802.1Q at the same time.

Networking: Connect E0 port of the router with uplink trunk port (24th ports) of the switch on the router, and divide 3 VLAN on switch downward port with several hosts.

Router Config

interface Ethernet0/0/4
ip address 10.0.0.1 255.255.255.0

interface Ethernet0/0/4.1           
  ip address 172.16.1.1 255.255.255.0
  vlan-type dot1q vid 1

Specify the Ethernet sub-interfaces belonging to VLAN1, and this command is applied to the Ethernet sub-interface. Only this command is configured, the Ethernet sub-interface will be embedded VLAN tag in the Ethernet frame header according to the configuration of the VLAN ID number so that the switch port connected to the switch interface can deal with the received frame correctly only the command has been configured.             

interface Ethernet0/0/4.2                     
ip address 172.16.2.1 255.255.255.0
dot1q termination vid 2

interface Ethernet0/0/4.3
  ip address 172.16.3.1 255.255.255.0
  dot1q termination vid 3

interface Ethernet0/0/4
  undo shut
% Interface Ethernet0/0/4 is up

Connect the E0 port with the 24th port of S3026 with the network cable

Check out the VLAN3 configuration
display vlan 3

Check the network connectivity on the workstation. This workstation is connected to the 21st port of S3026, belonging to VLAN2.

View the routing table on the Huawei router, can be found, as each of the network segments on the 172.16 are connected to the router directly, so the communication between the VLAN can be realized without starting the routing protocols or static routing.
