Configuring and Managing Ports and VLANs
To create a VLAN, use the following command:
set vlan
vlan-num
name
name
Specify a VLAN number from 2 to 4095, and specify a name up to 16 alphabetic characters
long. You cannot use a number as the first character in a VLAN name. D-Link recommends
that you do not use the same name with different capitalizations for VLANs or ACLs. For
example, do not configure two separate VLANs with the names
red
and
RED
. You must
assign a name to a VLAN before you can add ports to the VLAN. You can configure the
name and add ports with a single
set vlan
command or separate
set vlan
commands.
Once you assign a VLAN number to a VLAN, you cannot change the number. However,
you can change a VLAN’s name. For example, to assign the name
red
to VLAN 2, type the
following command:
DWS-1008#
set vlan 2 name red
After you create a VLAN, you can use the VLAN number or the VLAN name in commands.
In addition, the VLAN name appears in CLI displays.
Adding Ports to a VLAN
To add a port to a VLAN, use the following command:
set vlan
vlan-id
port
port-list
[
tag
tag-value
]
Note:
D-Link recommends that you do not use the name
default
. This name is already
used for VLAN 1. D-Link also recommends that you do not rename the default VLAN.
You can specify a tag value from 1 through 4095. For example, to add ports 1 through 3
and port 6 to VLAN
red
, type the following command:
DWS-1008#
set vlan red port 1-3,6
success: change accepted.
Optionally, you also can specify a tag value to be used on trunked 802.1Q ports. To assign
the name
marigold
to VLAN 2, add ports 4 through 6 and port 2, and assign tag value 11 to
port 7, type the following commands:
DWS-1008#
set vlan 2 name marigold port 4-6
success: change accepted.
DWS-1008#
set vlan 2 name marigold port 2 tag 11
success: change accepted.
