7.3.1 Defining a VLAN
To define a VLAN, proceed as follows:
1. Use the arrow keys to highlight the VLAN ID field.
2. Enter the VLAN ID using a unique number between 2 and 1094. The VLAN IDs of 0, 1, and
1095 may not be used for user-defined VLANs.
If an illegal number is entered, the Event Message Line will display: “PERMISSIBLE RANGE
FOR VLAN IDS: 2 to 1094” and the field will refresh with the previous value.
3. If the VLAN is to be assigned to a different filtering database, use the arrow keys to highlight
the FID field. If the VLAN is not going to be assigned to a different FID, go to Step 5 .
4. Type in the ID number of the FID.
5. Use the arrow keys to highlight the VLAN Name field.
6. Type a name of up to 32 ASCII characters in the VLAN Name field . This is an optional attribute
of a VLAN, and is not required for VLAN operation.
7. Use the arrow keys to highlight the ADD/DEL field.
8. Press the SPACE bar to select ADD for a defined VLAN. Press ENTER. The new VLAN will
be added to the VLAN list. The message “VLAN ADDED” displays in the Event Message Line
in the upper left-hand corner of the screen.
The VLAN will not be saved to the switch until the configuration is saved.
