The name should reflect the function of the end nodes that will be a
part of the VLAN (for example, Sales or Accounting). The name can
contain spaces but not special characters, such as asterisks (*) or
exclamation points (!). The name can contain up to 32 characters.
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 stacks,
then the name for the VLAN should be the same on each stack where
end nodes of the VLAN are connected.
8. Type S to choose Select Port Member.
The following prompt is displayed:
Enter Stack ID >
9. Enter the stack ID of the switch.

10. Enter the ports, both tagged and untagged, that are to be members
of the new VLAN. Press Return.
You can specify the ports individually (e.g., 2,3,5), as a range (e.g., 7-9),
or both (e.g., 2,5,7-9).
11. Type A to select Apply.
You have now created a new VLAN. You gave it a VID and a name. You
also specified which ports were to be members of the 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.
Phase 2 This phase of creating a new VLAN converts the tagged ports that you
added to the new VLAN into untagged ports. This involves changing the
PVIDs of the ports so that they match the VID of the new VLAN. For
example, if you assigned the new VLAN a VID of 4, you must change the
PVIDs of the untagged ports to 4. The following procedure explains how
to accomplish this.
The following procedure assumes that you are continuing directly from
Phase 1.
