90 VLAN Commands
NN47250-100 (Version 02.51)
Nortel recommends that you do not use the name default. This name is already used for VLAN 1. Nortel also
recommends that you do not rename the default VLAN.
You cannot use numbers in the VLAN name. Nortel 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 WSS. 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
WSS to which the client roams has VLAN RED instead, RADIUS authorization fails.
Examples
The following command assigns the name marigold to VLAN 3:
WSS# set vlan 3 name marigold
success: change accepted.
See Also
set vlan port on page 80
set vlan port
Assigns one or more network ports to a VLAN. You also can add a virtual port to each network port by adding
a tag value to the network port.
Syntax
set vlan vlan-id port port-list [tag tag-value]
Defaults
By default, no ports are members of any VLANs. A WSS cannot forward traffic on the
network until you configure VLANs and add network ports to the VLANs.
Access
Enabled.
Usage
You can combine this command with the set port name command to assign the name and
add the ports at the same time.
If you do not specify a tag value, the WSS sends untagged frames for the VLAN. If you do specify a tag value,
the switch sends tagged frames only for the VLAN.
If you do specify a tag value, Nortel recommends that you use the same value as the VLAN number. WSS
Software does not require the VLAN number and tag value to be the same but some other vendors’ devices do.
Examples
The following command assigns the name beige to VLAN 11 and adds ports 1 through
3 to the VLAN:
WSS# set vlan 11 name beige port 1-3
success: change accepted.
vlan-id VLAN name or number.
port port-list
List of physical ports.
tag tag-value
Tag value that identifies a virtual port. You can specify a value from 1
through 4093.
