Figure 2-13. The Default VLAN Names Screen

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

VLAN ID:

802.1Q VLAN ID : 1

Name : _

3.Type in a VID (VLAN ID number). This can be any number from 2 to 4094 that is not already being used by another VLAN. (The switch reserves “1” for the default VLAN.)

Remember that a VLAN must have the same VID in every switch in which you configure that same VLAN. (GVRP dynamically extends VLANs with correct VID numbering to other switches. See chapter 3, “GVRP”.)

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].

(Avoid these characters in VLAN names: @, #, $, ^, &, *, (, and ).)

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