The name should reflect the function of the nodes that will be a part

spaces, but not special characters, such as asterisks (*) or exclamation
points (!).
If the VLAN will be unique in your network, then the name should be
unique as well.
If the VLAN will be part of a larger VLAN that spans multiple stacks,
then the name for the VLAN should be the same on each stack where
nodes of the VLAN are connected.

from the slave switches. Ports from the slave switches can only be
added to a VLAN only after the VLAN has been created, by
modifying the VLAN, as explained in the procedure
Viewing or

on page 101.
The following prompt is displayed:
Enter port number>

You can specify the ports individually (e.g., 2,3,5), as a range (e.g., 7-9),
or both (e.g., 2,5,7-9).
11. Type

to select Apply.
You have now created a new VLAN. You gave it a VID and a name. You
also specified which ports were to be members of the new VLAN.
