Creating a VLAN

This section contains the procedure for creating a new or tagged VLAN.
This procedure assigns the VLAN a name, a VID number, and the
untagged and tagged member ports.

After performing this procedure, the PVID values of the untagged ports of
the VLAN must be adjusted to match the virtual LAN’s VID number. In
order for a port to be considered an untagged member of a VLAN, its PVID
value must be changed to match the VID of the virtual LAN. This
procedure is found in “Configuring the PVID of Untagged Ports” on
page 278.

To configure a VLAN, perform the following procedure:

1. From the Advanced Config menu, select VLAN Config > Create

VLAN.

The Create VLAN page opens, as shown in Figure 82.

Figure 82. Create VLAN Page

2. In the VLAN ID field, enter a VLAN ID for the new VLAN. The range is

2 to 4094.

If this VLAN will be unique in your network, then its VLAN ID (VID)
must also be unique from all other VIDs in the network.

3. In the VLAN Name field, enter a name for the VLAN.

The name can contain up to 32 characters including spaces but not
including special characters such as asterisks (*) or exclamation points
(!).

If the VLAN will be unique in you network, then the name should be
unique as well.
