that spans three switches, assign the Sales VLAN on each switch the a VID value of 3.

VLAN Name— Specifies a name of a VLAN. A name can be from 1 to 20 characters in length. The first character must be a letter; it cannot be a number. VLANs are easier to identify if their names reflect the functions of their subnetworks or workgroups (for example, Sales or Accounting). A name cannot contain spaces or special characters, such as asterisks (*) or exclamation points (!). A name cannot be the same as a name of an existing VLAN on the switch. If a VLAN is unique in your network, then its name must be unique as well. A VLAN that spans multiple switches must have the same name on each switch.

Member Port— Click a port to add it to the VLAN. A “T” indicates a port is a tagged port. A “U” indicates the port is an untagged port.

Note

For information about tagged and untagged ports, see “Overview” on page 128.
