AT-S45 User’s Guide

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.

6. Type N to select Set VLAN Name.

The following prompt is displayed:

Enter VLAN Name ->Enter VLAN Name >

7. Enter a VLAN name of up to 32 characters. Press Enter

The name should reflect the function of the nodes that will be a part

of the VLAN (for example, Sales or Accounting). The name can contain

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.

8. Type S to choose Select Port Member.

The following prompt is displayed:

Enter port number>

9. Enter all the ports, both tagged and untagged, that are to be

members of the new VLAN. Press Return.

You can specify the ports individually (e.g., 2,3,5), as a range (e.g., 7-9),

or both (e.g., 2,5,7-9)

10. Type A to select Apply.

You have now created a new VLAN. You gave it a VID and a name. You

also specified which ports are to be members of the new VLAN.

It is important to note, however, that by default all of the ports that

you just added to the new VLAN are tagged ports, meaning they are

shared ports. The ports are still members of their current VLANs.

If you want to convert the ports into untagged ports, you must

perform the procedure in Phase 2.
