Syntax 2

Parameters
vlan Specifies the name of the VLAN. A VLAN must be
assigned a name.
The name can be from one to ten characters in
length. The name should reflect the function of the
nodes that will be a part of the VLAN (for example,
Sales or Accounting). The name cannot contain
spaces or special characters, such as asterisks (*) or
exclamation points (!).
The name cannot be the same as the name of an
existing VLAN on the switch.
If the VLAN will be unique in your network, then the
name should be unique as well. If the VLAN will be
part of a larger VLAN that spans multiple switches,
then the name for the VLAN should be the same on
each switch where nodes of the VLAN are
connected.
vid Specifies the VLAN identifier. The range is 2 to 4094.
The VLAN must be assigned a VID.
You cannot use the VID 1; that value is reserved for
the Default VLAN.
The VID cannot be the same as the VID of an existing
VLAN on the switch.
If this VLAN will be unique in your network, then its
VID must also be unique. If this VLAN will be part of a
larger VLAN that spans multiple switches, then the
VID value for the VLAN should be the same on each
switch. For example, if you are creating a VLAN
called Sales that will span three switches, you should
assign the Sales VLAN on each switch the same VID
value.
