Creating a Tagged or Untagged VLAN

The procedure for creating a new VLAN is divided into the following
phases:

❑ Phase 1: Assigning a VID and name and specifying the port

members

❑ Phase 2: Converting tagged ports into untagged ports

Performing Phase 1 is required whenever you create a new VLAN. Every
VLAN must have a name, VID, and, of course, ports. You will need to
perform Phase 2 if some or all of the ports of a VLAN will be untagged
ports. Ports that you want to function as untagged ports must be
converted by changing their PVIDs, as explained in Phase 2.

To create a new VLAN, start by performing the procedure in Phase 1.

Note

The following procedures assume that the switch is operating in the
802.1Q VLAN mode. Only when the switch is operating in the 802.1Q
mode can you create tagged and untagged VLANs. For instructions
on how to change the switch’s VLAN mode, refer to Setting the
VLAN Type
on page 213.
