Managing the DES-5200

Create New VLAN

The Create New VLAN menu, displayed in Figure 43, is used to create a new

VLAN. The default value is that all ports belong to one VLAN. You can create up

to 31 separate VLANs. Ports can belong to two VLANs at the same time. Each

VLAN is a broadcast domain. If you have created a trunking group, you must

include the entire trunk group in the VLAN.
