VLAN Commands
set fdb agingtime (continued)
Examples: The following command changes the aging timeout period to 600 seconds for
entries that match VLAN orange:
DWS-1008# set fdb agingtime orange age 600
success: change accepted.
set vlan name
Creates a VLAN and assigns a number and name to it.
Syntax: set vlan vlan-num name name
vlan-num VLAN number. You can specify a number from 2 through 4095.
name String up to 16 alphabetic characters long.
Defaults: VLAN 1 is named default by default. No other VLANs have default names.
Access: Enabled
Usage: You must assign a name to a VLAN (other than the default VLAN) before you can add
ports to the VLAN.
D-Link recommends that you do not use the name default. This name is already used for
VLAN 1. D-Link also recommends that you do not rename the default VLAN.
You cannot use numbers in the VLAN name. D-Link recommends that you do not use the
same name with different capitalizations for VLANs. For example, do not configure two
separate VLANs with the names red and RED.
VLAN names are case-sensitive for RADIUS authorization when a client roams to a switch.
If the switch is not configured with the VLAN the client is on, but is configured with a VLAN
that has the same spelling but different capitalization, authorization for the client fails. For
example, if the client is on VLAN red but the switch to which the client roams has VLAN RED
instead, RADIUS authorization fails.
Examples: The following command assigns the name marigold to VLAN 3:
DWS-1008# set vlan 3 name marigold
success: change accepted.
