Creating a VLAN
To create a VLAN, you must first find a free VLAN index. From the VLAN
Group Static Configuration Menu, type d. This displays a list of all the
VLAN indexes and VID’s that are currently in use. Decide on the index and
VID you want to use for the new VLAN.
To create the VLAN:
1
Type s to select a VLAN, and then enter the VLAN index
you decided to use. You will notice that the VID for an
unused VLAN is 0000.
2
Type c to create the new VLAN and enter the VID you
decided to use.
3
Enter a name for the VLAN.
