xStack DGS-3400 Series Layer 2 Gigabit Managed Switch CLI Manual
NOTE: A specific protocol VLAN and a user defined protocol VLAN with
the same encapsulation protocol cannot coexist and will result in a Fail!
Message. (For example, if a user creates an Ethernet2 protocol VLAN, the
user can not create a userDefined protocol VLAN with an Ethernet
encapsulation)
create vlan
Purpose Used to create a VLAN on the Switch.
Syntax
create vlan <vlan_name 32> {tag <vlanid 2-4094> | [advertisement | {type
{1q_vlan | [protocol-ip | protocol-ipx802dot3 | protocol-ipx802dot2 | protocol-
ipxSnap | protocol-ipxEthernet2 | protocol-appleTalk | protocol-decLat |

netBios | protocol-xns | protocol-vines | protocol-ipV6 | protocol-userDefined

Description This command allows the creation of a VLAN on the Switch. The user may choose
between an 802.1Q VLAN or a protocol-based VLAN.
Parameters
<vlan_name 32> − The name of the VLAN to be created.
tag <vlanid 2-4094> − The VLAN ID of the VLAN to be created. Allowed values =
2-4094
type – This parameter uses the type field of the packet header to determine the
packet protocol and destination VLAN. There are two main choices of types for
VLANs created on the Switch:
The following parameters allow for the creation of protocol-based VLANs. The
Switch supports 14 pre-configured protocol-based VLANs plus a user defined
protocol based VLANs where the administrator may configure the settings for the
appropriate protocol and forwarding of packets (15 total). Selecting a specific
protocol will indicate which protocol will be utilized in determining the VLAN
ownership of a tagged packet. Pre-set protocol-based VLANs on the Switch
include:



 protocol-ipx802dot3 - Using this parameter will instruct the Switch to
forward packets to this VLAN if the tag in the packet header is concurrent with
this protocol. This packet header information is defined by Novell NetWare
802.3 (IPX - Internet Packet Exchange).


1q_vlan – Allows the creation of a normal 802.1Q VLAN on the Switch.
advertisement − Specifies that the VLAN is able to join GVRP. If this
parameter is not set, the switch cannot send any GVRP messages regarding
the VLAN.
protocol-ip – Using this parameter will instruct the Switch to forward
packets to this VLAN if the tag in the packet header is concurrent with this
protocol. This packet header information is based on the Ethernet protocol.
protocol-ipx802dot2 - Using this parameter will instruct the Switch to
forward packets to this VLAN if the tag in the packet header is concurrent with
this protocol. This packet header information is defined by Novell NetWare
802.2 (IPX - Internet Packet Exchange).
protocol-ipxSnap - Using this parameter will instruct the Switch to forward
packets to this VLAN if the tag in the packet header is concurrent with this
protocol. This packet header information is defined by Novell and the Sub
Network Access Protocol (SNAP).


protocol-ipxEthernet2 - Using this parameter will instruct the Switch to
forward packets to this VLAN if the tag in the packet header is concurrent with
this protocol. This packet header information is defined by Novell Ethernet II
Protocol.
protocol-appleTalk - Using this parameter will instruct the Switch to
forward packets to this VLAN if the tag in the packet header is concurrent with
this protocol. This packet header information is defined by the AppleTalk
