Chapter 19: Virtual LANs

Creating a VLAN

This section contains the procedure for creating a new port-based or tagged VLAN. This procedure assigns the VLAN a name, a VID number, and the untagged and tagged member ports.

After performing this procedure, the PVID values of the untagged ports of the VLAN must be adjusted to match the virtual LAN’s VID number. In order for a port to be considered an untagged member of a VLAN, its PVID value must be changed to match the VID of the virtual LAN. This procedure is found in “Configuring the PVID of Untagged Ports” on page 202.

To configure a VLAN, perform the following procedure:

1.From the Advanced Config menu, select VLAN Config and then Create VLAN.

The Create VLAN page is shown in Figure 56.

Figure 56. Create VLAN Page

2.Click the VLAN ID field and enter a VLAN ID for the new VLAN. The range is 2 to 4094.

If this VLAN will be unique in your network, then its VLAN ID (VID) must also be unique from all other VIDs in the network.

3.In the VLAN Name field, enter a name for the VLAN.

The name can contain up to 32 characters including spaces but not including special characters such as asterisks (*) or exclamation points

(!).
