To create an 802.1Q VLAN:

1.Highlight Configure Static VLAN Entry on the IEEE 802.1Q VLANs Configuration menu.

2.Press the Enter key. The following screen is displayed.

3.Type a VLAN ID number in the VID field.

4.Type a name for the new VLAN in the VLAN Name field.

5.Set the 802.1Q VLAN membership for each port by highlighting the Egress/Forbidden field using the arrow keys, and then toggling between E, F, and the dash (—) using the spacebar.

—E (Egress Member)—Specifies the port as being a static member of the VLAN. Egress Member Ports are ports that will be transmitting traffic for the VLAN. These ports can be either tagged or untagged.

—F (Forbidden Nonmember)—Defines the port as not being a member and also forbids the port from joining a VLAN dynamically.

—— (Nonmember)—Specifies the port as not being a member of the VLAN, but the port can become a member of the VLAN dynamically.
