92CHAPTER 5: CONFIGURING AND MANAGING PORTS AND VLANS

You must assign a name to a VLAN before you can add ports to the VLAN. You can configure the name and add ports with a single set vlan command or separate set vlan commands.

Once you assign a VLAN number to a VLAN, you cannot change the number. However, you can change a VLAN’s name.

For example, to assign the name red to VLAN 2, type the following command:

WX1200# set vlan 2 name red

After you create a VLAN, you can use the VLAN number or the VLAN name in commands. In addition, the VLAN name appears in CLI and 3Com Wireless Switch Manager displays.

Adding Ports to a VLAN

To add a port to a VLAN, use the following command:

set vlan vlan-id port port-list [tag tag-value]

You can specify a tag value from 1 through 4093.

MSS does not remove a port from other VLANs when you add the port to a new VLAN. If a new VLAN causes a configuration conflict with an older VLAN, remove the port from the older VLAN before adding the port to the new VLAN.

For example, to add ports 3 through 6 and port 8 to VLAN red, type the following command:

WX1200# set vlan red port 3-6,8 success: change accepted.

Optionally, you also can specify a tag value to be used on trunked 802.1Q ports.

To assign the name marigold to VLAN 4, add ports 1 through 4 and port 6, and assign tag value 11 to port 6, type the following commands:

WX1200# set vlan 4 name marigold port 1-4 success: change accepted.

WX1200# set vlan 4 name marigold port 6 tag 11 success: change accepted.
