ENAMING A
VLAN
To rename an existing VLAN, use the following command:
config vlan <old_name> name <new_name>
The following rules apply to renaming VLANs:
• Once you change the name of the default VLAN, it cannot be changed back to
default.
• You cannot create a new VLAN named default.
• You cannot change the VLAN name MacVlanDiscover. Although the switch accepts a
name change, once it is rebooted, the original name is recreated.

This section describes the commands associated with setting up VLANs on the switch.
Configuring a VLAN involves the following steps:
1 Create and name the VLAN.
2 Assign an IP address and mask (if applicable) to the VLAN, if needed.
Each IP address and mask assigned to a VLAN must represent a unique IP
subnet. You cannot configure the same IP subnet on different VLANs.
3 Assign a VLANid, if any ports in this VLAN will use a tag.
4 Assign one or more ports to the VLAN.
As you add each port to the VLAN, decide if the port will use an 802.1Q tag.
