2.Press [A] (for Add). You will then be prompted for a new VLAN name and

VLAN ID:

3.Type in a VID (VLAN ID number). This can be any number from 2 to 4095 that is not already being used by another VLAN.

4.Press [ v] to move the cursor to the Name line and type the VLAN name (up to 12 characters, with no spaces) of a new VLAN that you want to add, then press [Enter].

5.Press [S] (for Save). You will then see the VLAN Names screen with the new VLAN listed.
