4. Type 1 to select VLAN Name and enter a name for the new VLAN. The

VLAN name can be from one to fifteen characters in length. The name
should reflect the function of the nodes that will be members 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 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.

Note

A VLAN must be assigned a name.

5. Type 2 to select VLAN ID (VID) and enter a VID value for the new VLAN.

The permitted range of the VID value is 2 to 4094.

The management software will use the next available VID number on
the switch as the default value. 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, than 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.

The switch is only aware of the VIDs of the VLANs that exist on the
device, and not those that might already be in use in the network. For
example, if you add a new AT-8024 switch to a network that already
