Creating a Port-based VLAN

To create a port-based VLAN, perform the following procedure:

Note

This procedure assumes that the switch is set to the Port-based
VLAN Type. For instructions on how to change the VLAN mode on
the switch, refer to Setting the VLAN Type on page 213.

1. Click on the Advanced Config menu tab and select VLAN Config from

the sub-menu. Select Create VLAN from the sub-menu.

The Create/Modify VLAN page will appear, as displayed in Figure
72.

Figure 72 Create/Modify VLAN (Port-based VLAN)

2. Enter a unique VLAN ID in the Index data entry field. The VLAN ID

must be a value between 2 and 4094.

Since the stack does not examine the VID in tagged headers of tagged
frames when operating in the Port-based VLAN mode, this VID value
does not need to be unique from all other VLANs in your network. It
only needs to be unique from the other VLANs in the stack on which
you are creating the VLAN.

3. Enter a VLAN name in the VLAN name text entry field. The name can

be from 1 to 32 characters. The name can contain spaces, but not
special characters, such as asterisks (*) or exclamation points (!).

4. Select the check boxes for the ports you would like to include in the

VLAN.

5. Click the Apply button in the bottom right-hand corner of the page.
