The default VLAN is untagged on all ports. It has an internal VLANid of 1; this value is user-
configurable.
VLAN Names
Each VLAN is given a name that can be up to 32 characters. VLAN names use standard alphanumeric
characters.
VLAN names must begin with an alphabetical letter. The names can be no longer than 32 characters and
must begin with an alphabetic character. The remainder of the name can be alphanumeric or contain
underscore (_) characters. VLAN names cannot be keywords.
NOTE
If you use the same name across categories (for example, STPD and EAPS names), Extreme Networks recommends
that you specify the identifying keyword as well as the actual name. If you do not use the keyword, the system may
return an error message.
VLAN names can be specified using the tab key for command completion.
VLAN names are locally significant. That is, VLAN names used on one switch are only meaningful to
that switch. If another switch is connected to it, the VLAN names have no significance to the other
switch.
NOTE
Extreme Networks recommends that you use VLAN names consistently across your entire network.
You must use mutually exclusive names for:
●
VLANs
●
VMANs
●
Ipv6 tunnels
Renaming a VLAN
To rename an existing VLAN, use the following command:
configure vlan <vlan_name> name <name>
The following rules apply to renaming VLANs:
●
You cannot change the name of the default VLAN.
●
You cannot create a new VLAN named default .
