Figure 42-13 shows the command syntax using MIB object names, and Figure 42-14 shows the same
command using the object OIDs. In both cases, the object is followed by same index number used in the
snmpset command.

Manage VLANs using SNMP
The qBridgeMIB managed objects in the Q-BRIDGE-MIB, defined in RFC 2674, enable you to use SNMP
manage VLANs.
Create a VLAN
Use the dot1qVlanStaticRowStatus object to create a VLAN. The snmpset operation in Figure 42-15
creates VLAN 10 by specifying a value of 4 for instance 10 of the dot1qVlanStaticRowStatus object.

Assign a VLAN Alias
Write a character string to the dot1qVlanStaticName object to assign a name to a VLAN, as shown in
Figure 42-16.
