12.10 QUICK VLAN WALKTHROUGH
The procedures below provide a short tutorial walkthrough that presents each of the steps
necessary to configure a new VLAN, assign a port to it, and check the Port VLAN List of the port.
You may wish to follow this walkthrough from start to finish before attempting to configure your
own VLANs.
This walkthrough begins at the 802.1Q VLAN Configuration Menu screen, as follows:
1. On the 802.1Q VLAN Configuration Menu screen, use the arrow keys to highlight the DEVICE
VLAN CONFIGURATION menu item. Press ENTER. The Device VLAN Configuration
screen displays.
2. In this walkthrough, we will not change the setting of the Forward Default VLAN Out All Ports
fields from their default setting of NO.
3. Use the arrow keys to highlight the VLAN ID field. Assign a number to a new VLAN by typing
the number “2” in the VLAN ID field.
4. Use the arrow keys to highlight the FID field. In this example we will assign the new VLAN to
FID 2 by typing the number “2” in the FID field.
5. Use the arrow keys to highlight the VLAN Name field. Type “TEST VLAN” in the VLAN
Name field. Press ENTER.
6. Use the arrow keys to highlight the ADD/DEL field.
7. Press the SPACE bar to toggle the field to ADD. Press ENTER. The VLAN is added to the list.
8. Use the arrow keys to highlight the SAVE command at the bottom of the screen. Press ENTER.
The message “SAVED OK” displays. The screen refreshes and VLAN 2, the TEST VLAN is
added to the Device VLAN Configuration screen and all learning of MAC addresses are updated
in FID 2. The screen should now look like
Figure 12-6 .
NOTE: This new VLAN is currently disabled, as the DISABLED field to the far right
shows. When all the rules and settings for the VLAN are in place, it will be necessary to
return to this screen and enable the VLAN.
