Defining a VLAN
To create a new VLAN definition, first you must define a network profile with the required
VLAN ID. Next, you use the profile to define a VLAN on a port, VSC interface, or user
account.
Creating a network profile
1. Select Controller >> Network > Network profiles. By default the list contains two
definitions: Internet port network and LAN port network.
2. Select Add New Profile.
3. Under Settings, specify a Name to identify the profile.
4. Select VLAN, and then set ID to the VLAN ID you want to assign. You can also define a
range of VLANs in the form X-Y, where X and Y can be 1 to 4094. For example: 50-60.
This enables a single VLAN definition to accept traffic for one or more VLAN IDs, making
it easy to manage a large number of contiguously assigned VLANs. You can define more
than one VLAN range, but each range must be distinct and contiguous. VLANS with
ranges cannot be assigned an IP address.
5. Select Save. The definition is added to the Network profiles page.
