5: VLAN C
OMMANDS
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 4093.
„
name
— String up to 16 alphabetic characters long.
Defaults — VLAN 1 is named default by default. No other VLANs have
default names.
Access — Enabled.
History —Introduced in MSS Version 3.0.
Usage — You must assign a name to a VLAN (other than the default
VLAN) before you can add ports to the VLAN.
3Com recommends that you do not use the name default . This name is
already used for VLAN 1. 3Com also recommends that you do not
rename the default VLAN.
You cannot use a number as the first character in a VLAN name. 3Com
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 wireless LAN switch. If the WX 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 WX switch to which the
client roams has VLAN RED instead, RADIUS authorization fails.
Examples — The following command assigns the name marigold to
VLAN 3:
WX4400# set vlan 3 name marigold
success: change accepted.
