At the command prompt, enter
name
followed by a space and a question mark. This step will either
give you more choices or an error message.
-> vlan 33 name ?
^
<hex> <"string"> <string>
(Vlan Manager Command Set)
There is a smaller set of keywords available for use with the
vlan 33 name
syntax. This is because the
command becomes more specialized as more keywords are added. From the choices shown on the screen,
you can enter a hex value, a text string enclosed in quotes (“ ”) or a text string without quotes. In this case,
the name selected for the VLAN includes spaces so you should use the syntax enclosed in quotes.

At the command prompt, enter the name of the VLAN enclosed in quotes, followed by a space and a
question mark.
-> vlan 33 name "test vlan 2" ?
^
<cr>
(Vlan Manager Command Set)
When the question mark is issued this time, the only syntax listed is <cr>. This means that the command
syntax is complete. At this point when you press Enter, the command will be issued.
Note.
Optional. To verify that the command was accepted, enter the
show vlan
command. The display is
similar to the one shown here.
-> show vlan
vlan admin oper stree auth ip ipx name
-----+-------+------+-------+------+----+-----+---------------------------------
1 on off on off off off VLAN 1
33 on off on off off off test vlan 2
The second entry verifies that a VLAN was created, the VLAN ID is 33 and the name is test vlan 2.
