Static Virtual LANs (VLANs)
Configuring VLANs
Adding or Editing VLAN Names
Use this procedure to add a new VLAN or to edit the name of an existing VLAN.
1. From the Main Menu select:
2. Switch Configuration
8. VLAN Menu ….
2. VLAN Names
If multiple VLANs are not yet configured you will see a screen similar to
figure 2-14:
Default VLAN
and VLAN ID
Figure 2-14. The Default VLAN Names Screen
2. Press
[A] (for Add). You will then be prompted for a new VLAN name and
VLAN ID:
802.1Q VLAN ID : 1
Name : _
3. Type in a VID (VLAN ID number). This can be any number from 2 to 4094
that is not already being used by another VLAN. (The switch reserves “1”
for the default VLAN.)
Remember that a VLAN must have the same VID in every switch in which
you configure that same VLAN. (GVRP dynamically extends VLANs with
correct VID numbering to other switches. Refer to
chapter 3, “GVRP” .)
4. Press [v] to move the cursor to the Name line and type the VLAN name (up
to 12 characters, with no spaces) of a new VLAN that you want to add,
then press
[Enter].
(Avoid these characters in VLAN names:
2, #, $, ^, &, *, (, and ).)
5. Press
[S] (for Save). You will then see the VLAN Names screen with the
new VLAN listed.
