4 Assign a unique VLAN ID (from 1 to 4095) to each VLAN added or modified.
The VLAN ID associates a frame with a specific VLAN and provides the information the Altitude
35xx needs to process the frame across the network. Therefore, it may be practical to assign a name
to a VLAN representative or the area or type of network traffic it represents.
A business may have offices in different locations and want to extend an internal LAN between the
locations. An Altitude 35xx managed infrastructure could provide this connectivity, but it requires
VLAN numbering be managed carefully to avoid conflicts between two VLANs with the same ID.
5 Define a 32 ASCII character maximum VLAN Name .
Enter a unique name that identifies members of the VLAN. Extreme Networks recommends
selecting the name carefully, as the VLAN name should signify a group of clients with a common set
of requirements independent of their physical location.
6 Click Apply to save the changes to the new or modified VLAN.
7 From the LAN Configuration screen, click the WLAN Mapping button. The Mapping Configuration
screen displays.
