Static Virtual LANs (VLANs)

Configuring VLANs

name < ascii-name-string >

When included in a vlan command for creating a new static VLAN, specifies a non-default VLAN name. Also used to change the current name of an existing VLAN. (Avoid spaces and the following characters in the <ascii-name-string> entry: @, #, $, ^, &, *, (, and ). To include a blank space in a VLAN name, enclose the name in single or double quotes (‘...’ or “...”).

[ voice]

Designates a VLAN for VoIP use. For more on this topic, refer to “Voice VLANs” on page 2-54.

For example, to create a new, port-based, static VLAN with a VID of 100:

Creates the new VLAN.

Shows the VLANs currently configured in the switch.

If this field is empty, a Secure Management VLAN is not configured in the switch. Refer to “The Secure Management VLAN” on page 2-46

To go to a different VLAN context level, such as to the default VLAN:

ProCurve(vlan-100)# vlan default_vlan

ProCurve(vlan-1) _

Deleting a VLAN. If ports B1-B5 belong to both VLAN 2 and VLAN 3, and ports B6-B10 belong to VLAN 3 only, then deleting VLAN 3 causes the CLI to prompt you to approve moving ports B6 - B10 to VLAN 1 (the default VLAN). (Ports B1-B5 are not moved because they still belong to another VLAN.)

ProCurve(config)# no vlan 3

The following ports will be moved to the default VLAN: B6-B10

Do you want to continue? [y/n] y ProCurve(config)#
