VLAN Configuration Menu

The VLAN Configuration Menu screen (Figure 3-8) allows you to select the appropriate screen to configure up to 64 port-based VLANs. When you create VLANs, you can assign various ports (and therefore the devices attached to these ports) to different broadcast domains. Creating VLANs increases network flexibility by allowing you to reassign devices to accommodate network moves, additions, and changes, eliminating the need to change physical cabling.

See “ IEEE 802.1Q VLAN Workgroups” on page 1-32 for detailed information about configuring VLANs.

Choose VLAN Configuration (or press v) from the Switch Configuration Menu screen to open the VLAN Configuration Menu.
