VLAN Configuration
128 NXA-ENET24 - Software Management Guide
Creating VLANs - CLI
This example creates a new VLAN.
Adding Static Members to VLANs (VLAN Index)
Use the VLAN Static Table to configure port members for the selected VLAN index.
Assign ports as tagged if they are connected to 802.1Q VLAN compliant devices, or untagged they are not
connected to any VLAN-aware devices. Or configure a port as forbidden to prevent the switch from
automatically adding it to a VLAN via the GVRP protocol.
1. You can also use the VLAN Static Membership by Port page to configure VLAN groups based on the
port index (page129). However, note that this configuration page can only add ports to a VLAN as tagged
members.
2. VLAN 1 is the default untagged VLAN containing all ports on the switch, and can only be modified by
first reassigning the default port VLAN ID as described under Configuring VLAN Behavior for
Interfacessection on page 130.

Command Attributes
•VLAN: ID of configured VLAN (1-4094, no leading zeroes).
• Name: Name of the VLAN (1 to 32 characters).
•Status: Enables or disables the specified VLAN.
• Enable: VLAN is operational.
• Disable: VLAN is suspended; i.e., does not pass packets.
•Port: Port identifier.
•Trunk: Trunk identifier.
• Membership Type: Select VLAN membership for each interface by marking the appropriate radio button
for a port or trunk:
• Tagged: Interface is a member of the VLAN. All packets transmitted by the port will be
tagged, that is, carry a tag and therefore carry VLAN or CoS information.
• Untagged: Interface is a member of the VLAN. All packets transmitted by the port will
be untagged, that is, not carry a tag and therefore not carry VLAN or CoS
information. Note that an interface must be assigned to at least one group as an
untagged port.
• Forbidden: Interface is forbidden from automatically joining the VLAN via GVRP. For
more information, see Automatic VLAN Registration on page124.
• None: Interface is not a member of the VLAN. Packets associated with this VLAN will
not be transmitted by the interface.
•Trunk Member: Indicates if a port is a member of a trunk. To add a trunk to the selected VLAN, use the
last table on the VLAN Static Table page.
