VLAN Settings - 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. 
Each VLAN must be configured with a unique VID 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.
Information is displayed for all defined VLANs. The fields are defined below under

Registration Protocol (GVRP).
- Static—VLAN is user-defined.
- Default—VLAN is the default VLAN.
STEP  2 Click Add to add one or more new VLANs.
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, and 
optionally the VLAN Name.
