CREATE VLAN

Syntax 1

create vlan=name vid=vid port=portsall frame=untaggedtagged

Syntax 2

create vlan=name vid=vid taggedports=portsall untaggedports=portsall

Parameters

 

vlan

Specifies the name of the VLAN. You must assign a

 

name to a VLAN.

 

The name can be from 1 to 20 characters in length

 

and should reflect the function of the nodes that will

 

be a part of the VLAN (for example, Sales or

 

Accounting). The name cannot contain spaces or

 

special characters, such as asterisks (*) or

 

exclamation points (!).

 

The name cannot be the same as the name of an

 

existing VLAN on the switch.

 

If the VLAN is unique in your network, then the name

 

needs to be unique as well. If the VLAN spans

 

multiple switches, then the name for the VLAN

 

should be the same on each switch.

vid

Specifies the VLAN identifier. The range is 2 to 4094.

 

The VLAN must be assigned a VID.

 

You cannot use the VID 1, which is reserved for the

 

Default_VLAN.

 

The VID cannot be the same as the VID of an existing

 

VLAN on the switch.

 

If this VLAN is unique in your network, then its VID

 

should also be unique. If this VLAN is part of a larger

 

VLAN that spans multiple switches, then the VID

 

value for the VLAN should be the same on each

 

switch. For example, if you are creating a VLAN

 

called Sales that spans three switches, assign the

 

Sales VLAN on each switch the same VID value.
