Creating a VLAN

To create a VLAN, you must first find a free VLAN index. From the VLAN Group Static Configuration Menu, type d. This displays a list of all the VLAN indexes and VID’s that are currently in use. Decide on the index and VID you want to use for the new VLAN.

To create the VLAN:

1 Type s to select a VLAN, and then enter the VLAN index you decided to use. You will notice that the VID for an unused VLAN is 0000.

2 Type c to create the new VLAN and enter the VID you decided to use.

3 Enter a name for the VLAN.
