To change the default VLAN:
STEP 1 Click VLAN Management > Default VLAN Settings. The 
Default VLAN Settings 
Page
 opens.
STEP  2 Enter the value for the following field:
• Current Default VLAN ID—Displays the current default VLAN ID.
• Default VLAN ID After Reset—Enter a new VLAN ID to replace the default 
VLAN ID after reboot.
STEP  3 Click Apply. 
STEP  4 Click Save (in the upper-right corner of the window) and save the Running 
Configuration to the Startup Configuration.
The Default VLAN ID After Reset becomes the Current Default VLAN ID after 
you reboot the switch.
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 Cisco Sx300 Series switch supports 256 VLANs; default VLAN 
included. 
Each VLAN must be configured with a unique VID (VLAN ID) with a value from 
1 to 4094. The switch reserves VID 4095 as the Discard VLAN. All packets 
classified to the Discard VLAN are discarded at ingress, and are never forwarded 
to a port.
