3-6 DIGITAL MultiSwitch 700 Port Based VLAN User’s Guide
3.3.1 Defining a VLAN
To define a VLAN, proceed as follows:
1. Use the arrow keys to highlight the VLAN ID field.
2. Enter the VLAN ID using a unique number between 2 and 4094. The
VLAN IDs of 0, 1, and 4095 are reserved and may not be used for
user-defined VLANs.
If an illegal number is entered, the Event Message Line will display:
”PERMISSIBLE RANGE FOR VLAN IDS: 2 to 4095” and the field
will refresh with the previous value.
3. Use the arrow keys to highlight the VLAN Name field.
4. Type a name of up to 32 ASCII characters in the VLAN Name field
(optional).
5. Use the arrow keys to highlight the [ADD/DEL] field.
6. Press the SPACE bar to select ADD for a defined VLAN. Press
ENTER. The new VLAN will be added to the VLAN list. The message
“VLAN ADDED” displays in the Event Message Line in the upper
left-hand corner of the screen.
The VLAN will not be saved to the switch until the configuration is
saved.
7. Use the arrow keys to highlight the SAVE command at the bottom of
the screen. Press ENTER. The message “SAVED OK” displays.
Each VLAN ID must be unique. If a duplicate VLAN ID is
entered, the switch assumes that the Administrator intends to
modify the existing VLAN.
