6. In the VID field, enter a VID value for the new VLAN. The range of the
VID value is 2 to 4094. The default is the next available VID number on
the switch.
If this is a unique VLAN in your network, its VID must be unique as well.
However, if the VLAN is to be part of a larger VLAN that spans multiple
switches, assign the same VID value on each switch. For example, if
you are creating a VLAN called Sales that spans three switches, you
must assign the same VID value to each Sales VLAN on all three
switches.
Note
You must assign a VID to a VLAN.
7. In the Name field, enter a name for the new VLAN.
The name can be from one to 18 characters in length. The name
should reflect the function of the nodes of the VLAN (for example,
Sales or Accounting). The name can contain spaces but not special
characters, such as asterisks (*) or exclamation points (!).
If the VLAN is to be unique in your network, the name should be
unique as well. However, if the VLAN is to be part of a larger VLAN that
spans multiple switches, the name for the VLAN needs to be the same
on each switch. For example, if VLAN that is called Administration
spans three switches, then the VLAN needs to have the same name on
all three switches.
Note
You must assign a name to a VLAN.
8. To select ports for the VLAN, click on the ports in the switch image.
Clicking repeatedly on a port toggles the port through the
following possible settings:
Untagged port
Tagged port
Port not a member of the VLAN
9. Click Apply.
The VLAN is created on the switch. The VLAN is now ready for
network operations.
