Creating VLANs
You can create a VLAN, but this has no effect until the VLAN is attached to at least
one port, either manually or dynamically. Ports must always belong to one or more
VLANs.
The 300 Series device supports up to 4K VLANs, including the default VLAN.
Each VLAN must be configured with a unique VID (VLAN ID) with a value from
1 to 4094. The device reserves VID 4095 as the Discard VLAN. All packets
classified to the Discard VLAN are discarded at ingress, and are not forwarded to
a port.
To c r e a t e a V L A N :
STEP 1 Click VLAN Management > VLAN Settings.
This page displays the following fields for all VLANs:
• VLAN ID—User-defined VLAN ID.
• VLAN Name—User-defined VLAN name.
• Originators—VLAN type:
- GVRP—VLAN was dynamically created through Generic VLAN
Registration Protocol (GVRP).
- Static—VLAN is user-defined.
- Default—VLAN is the default VLAN.
STEP 2 Click Add to add a new VLAN.
The page enables the creation of either a single VLAN or a range of VLANs.
STEP 3 To create a single VLAN, select the VLAN radio button, enter the VLAN ID (VID),
and optionally the VLAN Name.
To create a range of VLANs, select the Range radio button, and specify the range
of VLANs to be created by entering the Starting VID and Ending VID, inclusive.
When using the Range function, the maximum number of VLANs you can create at
one time is 100.
STEP 4 Click Apply to create the VLAN(s).
