Note
Check the VLAN Type field in the window to make sure it is set to
802.1Q, which happens to be the default. You can create tagged and
untagged VLANs only when the switch is operating in the 802.1Q
mode. For instructions on how to change the switch’s VLAN mode,
refer to Setting the VLAN Type on page 209.
2. Enter a VLAN ID in the VLAN ID field.
If this VLAN will be unique in your network, then its VID must also be
unique from all other VIDs in the network.
If this VLAN will be part of a larger VLAN that spans multiple switches,
than the VID value for the VLAN should be the same on each switch.
For example, if you are creating a VLAN called Sales that will span
three switches, you must assign the Sales VLAN on each of the
switches the same VID value.
The VLAN ID must be a value between 2 and 4094.
3. Enter a name for the VLAN of up to 32 characters in the VLAN Name
field.
The name should reflect the function of the nodes that will be a part
of the VLAN (for example, Sales or Accounting). The name spaces, but
not special characters, such as asterisks (*) or exclamation points (!).
If the VLAN will be unique in your network, then the name should be
unique as well.
If the VLAN will be part of a larger VLAN that spans multiple switches,
then the name for the VLAN should be the same on each switch
where nodes of the VLAN are connected.
4. In the Tagged row in the window, select the radio buttons for both the
tagged and untagged ports that are to be members of the new VLAN.
Note
The procedure in Phase 2 explains how to convert tagged ports into
untagged ports by changing the PVIDs.
Note
The rows Forbidden and Not Member are explained in the section
Setting GVRP Status on page 207.
5. Click the Apply button at the bottom right-hand side of the window.
You have now created a new VLAN. You gave it a VID and a name. You
also specified which ports were to be members of the new VLAN.
