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 end nodes of the VLAN are connected.

4. Select the Tagged port radio buttons for both the tagged and

untagged ports that are to be members of the new VLAN. Do this for
each switch in the stack that will contain ports for the new VLAN.

Note
The procedure in Phase 2 explains how to convert tagged ports into
untagged ports by changing the PVIDs.

5. If you activated GVRP on the stack and you do not want certain

tagged ports in the VLAN to participate in GVRP, click the Forbidden
radio buttons of those tagged ports.

Note
The Not Member row is explained in the section Viewing or
Modifying a VLAN
on page 203.

6. Click the Apply button.

You have now created a new VLAN.

However, it is important to note that, by default, all of the ports that
you just added to the new VLAN are tagged ports, meaning they are
shared ports. The ports are still members of their current VLANs.

If you want to convert the ports into untagged ports, you must
perform the procedure in Phase 2.

Note
There are two additional buttons on the bottom right-hand corner
of the page. The Restore button will cancel any changes you have
made to the VLAN since using the Apply button. The Clear button
removes all checks from all radio buttons, letting you select each
port’s configuration. If you leave any port columns blank when you
click the Apply button, the management software will assign those
ports to the Not Member row.
