VLAN Configuration

Creating VLANs

Use the VLAN Static List to create or remove VLAN groups. To propagate information about VLAN groups used on this switch to external network devices, you must specify a VLAN ID for each of these groups.

Command Attributes

Current – Lists all the current VLAN groups created for this system. Up to 255 VLAN groups can be defined. VLAN 1 is the default untagged VLAN.

New – Allows you to specify the name and numeric identifier for a new VLAN group. (The VLAN name is only used for management on this system; it is not added to the VLAN tag.)

VLAN ID – ID of configured VLAN (1-4093, no leading zeroes).

VLAN Name – Name of the VLAN (1 to 32 characters).

Status (Web) – Enables or disables the specified VLAN.

-Enable: VLAN is operational.

-Disable: VLAN is suspended; i.e., does not pass packets.

State (CLI) – Enables or disables the specified VLAN.

-Active: VLAN is operational.

-Suspend: VLAN is suspended; i.e., does not pass packets.

Add – Adds a new VLAN group to the current list.

Remove – Removes a VLAN group from the current list. If any port is assigned to this group as untagged, it will be reassigned to VLAN group 1 as untagged.

Web – Click VLAN, 802.1Q VLAN, Static List. To create a new VLAN, enter the VLAN ID and VLAN name, mark the Enable checkbox to activate the VLAN, and then click Add.

CLI – This example creates a new VLAN.
