Chapter 4: VLAN Conﬁguration

4-18 Port Based VLAN User’s Guide

4.6 QUICK VLAN WALKTHROUGH

The procedures below provide a short tutorial walkthrough that presents

each of the steps necessary to conﬁgure a new VLAN and assign a port to

it. You may wish to follow this walkthrough from start to ﬁnish before

attempting to conﬁgure your own VLANs.

This walkthrough begins at the VLAN Main Menu screen for a 6C105

chassis. Follow the instructions in your device user’s guide to navigate to

this Local Management screen.

1. On the VLAN Main Menu screen, use the arrow keys to highlight the

DEVICE/VLAN CONFIGURATION menu item. Press ENTER.

The Device/VLAN Configuration screen displays.

2. Verify the current VLAN Operation Mode (SECURE) and

Forwarding Mode (NO). If these fields display values other than those

given here, follow the instructions in Section 4.3.6 and Section 4.3.7.

3. Use the arrow keys to highlight the VLAN ID field. Assign a number

to a new VLAN by typing the number “2” in the VLAN ID field.

4. Use the arrow keys to highlight the VLAN Name field. Type “TEST

VLAN” in the VLAN Name field. Press ENTER.

5. Use the arrow keys to highlight the [ADD/DEL] field.

6. Press the SPACE bar to toggle the field to [ADD]. Press ENTER. The

VLAN is added to the list.

7. Use the arrow keys to highlight the SAVE command at the bottom of

the screen. Press ENTER. The message “SAVED OK” displays. The

screen refreshes and VLAN 2, the TEST VLAN has been added to the

Device/VLAN Configuration screen. The screen should now look like

Figure 4-6.

• This new VLAN is currently disabled, as the DISABLED ﬁeld to

the far right shows. When all the rules and settings for the VLAN

are in place, we will return to this screen and enable the VLAN.

NOTE

The screens displayed by your devices may be marginally

different from those shown in the illustrations for this

walkthrough.
