This command creates a new static VLAN (if a VLAN with that VID does not already exist) and
places you in that VLAN’s context level. If you do not use the name option, the switch uses “ VLAN”
and the new VID to automatically name the VLAN. If the VLAN already exists, the switch places you
in the context level for that VLAN.
For example, to create a new static VLAN with a VID of 32:
LE2425A(vlan-port)##
add id=32 name=Fin port=10,11,12
Port vlan added successfully
LE2425A#
show vlan type=port id=32
VLAN ID : 32
Name : Fin
Status : Pending
========================
PORT | STATUS
========================
10 | DOWN
11 | DOWN
12 | DOWN
To enable the new VLAN type the following:
LE2425A(vlan-port)##
start vlan =<ID or port list>
For example
, LE2425A(vlan-port)##
start vlan = 32
Resulting,
VLAN ID : 32
Name : Fin
Status : Active
========================
PORT | STATUS
========================
10 | DOWN
11 | DOWN
12 | DOWN

Effect of VLANs on Other Switch Features
15.6.1 VLAN
Restrictions
•
A port must be a member of at least one VLAN. In the factory default configuration, all ports are
assigned to the default VLAN (DEFAULT-VLAN; VID = 1).
•
Before you can delete a VLAN, you can optionally re-assign all ports in the VLAN to another VLAN.
Ports that are members of other VLANs will retain these memberships while all other ports will fall
back into the default VLAN.
•
The LE2425A and LEV2525A switches support port based VLANs. Each port is configured to be
member of one or more VLANs. A port can communicate with another port only if both the ports
share membership in the same VLAN. A specific port can be a member of more than one VLAN.
Note
: Since the higher-level network protocols rely upon broadcasts to discover network addresses of
other stations, normal communication will not be possible between ports with no common VLAN
membership. However, it is sometimes possible to send a frame to another port if the destination
address is known. This happens since the switching hardware filters packets that are to be broadcast.
