Chapter 18: Virtual LANs
178 Section II: Using the Web Browser Interface
Creating a VLAN
This section contains the procedure for creating a new port-based or
tagged VLAN. This procedure assigns the VLAN a name, a VID number,
and the untagged and tagged member ports.
After performing this procedure, the PVID values of the untagged ports of
the VLAN must be adjusted to match the virtual LAN’s VID number. In
order for a port to be considered an untagged member of a VLAN, its PVID
value must be changed to match the VID of the virtual LAN. This
procedure is found in “Configuring the PVID of Untagged Ports” on
page 180.
To configure a VLAN, perform the following procedure:
1. From the Advanced Config menu, select VLAN Config and then
Create VLAN .
The Create VLAN page is shown in Figure 48.
Figure 48. Create VLAN Page
2. Click the VLAN ID field and enter a VLAN ID for the new VLAN. The
range is 2 to 4094.
If this VLAN will be unique in your network, then its VLAN ID (VID)
must also be unique from all other VIDs in the network.
3. In the VLAN Name field, enter a name for the VLAN.
The name can contain up to 32 characters including spaces but not
including special characters such as asterisks (*) or exclamation points
(!).
