7.3.1 Creating a Static VLAN
To create a VLAN, proceed as follows:
1. Use the arrow keys to highlight the VLAN ID field near the bottom of the screen.
2. Enter the VLAN ID using a unique number between 2 and 4094. The VLAN IDs of 0, 1, and
4095 may not be used for user-defined VLANs.
3. Press ENTER. If an illegal number is entered, the Event Message Line will display:
“PERMISSIBLE RANGE FOR VLAN IDS: 2 to 4094” and the field will refresh with the
previous value.
VLAN Name
– top of screen
(Read-Only)
See the VLAN Name of the associated VLAN ID. If a name has not
been assigned to a VLAN, no name is displayed in the VLAN Name
field.
VLAN ID
– bottom of screen
(Modifiable)
Enter a VLAN ID (VID) number (2 to 4094) for the new VLAN. Up to
1024 VLANs are supported by the SmartSwitch device.
VLAN Name
– bottom of screen
(Modifiable)
Assign or change names of VLANs. The VLAN Name (with up to 32
characters) is an optional attribute of a VLAN, and is not required for
VLAN operation.
ADD
(Command) Add the new VLAN to the SmartSwitch device. If this is successful,
the screen refreshes and the new VLAN is added to the list in the
screen.
DEL MARKED
(Command) Delete the VLANs shown in the screen marked with an asterisk to the
left of the VLAN ID number. The Default VLAN cannot be marked
and deleted.
NOTE: Each VLAN ID must be unique. If a duplicate VLAN ID is entered, the switch
assumes that the Administrator intends to modify the existing VLAN.
