Once a CLI session on the switch is open, you must create a VLAN number and name. The command used to
do this is as follows:
vlan [vlan#] name [vlan name] command
To use this command, you must be in Global Configuration mode on the switch. To enter Global
Configuration mode and create VLANs, take a look at the following example:
>enable
#config terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z
1912EN(config)#vlan 2 name sales
1912EN(config)#vlan 3 name marketing
1912EN(config)#exit
Warning A created VLAN is unused until it is assigned to a switch port or ports. By default, all ports remain
in VLAN 1 until the port is assigned to another VLAN.
Assigning a Static VLAN to an Interface on a 1900EN Series
You can assign each port on an interface to a VLAN by using the vlan−membership command. Unlike the
Set/Clear interface, which allows you to assign and configure a VLAN to multiple ports with one command,
you must configure VLANs port by port on the 1900EN series. To configure VLANs on the 1900EN series,
follow these steps:
First you need to enter Interface Configuration mode, as shown here:
1912EN#config terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z
1912EN(config)#interface e0/2
1.
Next, you need to issue the vlan−membership command. There are two options for this command:
dynamic—Allows the port to be set to a specific MAC address based on the MAC address of
the end user.
static—The port number you as the administrator selects will remain the same regardless of
the MAC address used by the end user of that port.
2.
In the following examples we will be using static VLANs. To see how many VLANs are available to
assign to an interface, use the following command:
1912EN(config−if)#vlan−membership static ?
<1−1005> ISL VLAN index
3.
Next, take the VLANs created in the previous two steps and assign them to Ethernet ports 4 and 5.
You can only assign one VLAN per port, as shown here:
4.
1912EN(config−if)#vlan−membership static 2
1912EN(config−if)#interface e0/4
1912EN(config−if)#vlan−membership static 3
1912EN(config−if)#interface e0/5
