use VIDs 2 through 24, the default VID value for the first VLAN created
on the switch is still VID 2, even though that number is already being
used. To prevent inadvertently using the same VID for two different
VLANs, you should keep a list of all your network VLANs and their VID
values.

Name
Specify a name for the new VLAN.

The name can be from one to fifteen alphanumeric characters in
length. The name should reflect the function of the nodes that are part
of the VLAN (for example, Sales or Accounting). The name cannot
contain spaces or special characters, such as asterisks (*) or
exclamation points (!).

If the VLAN is unique in your network, then the name should be unique
as well. If the VLAN is part of a larger VLAN that spans multiple
switches, then the name for the VLAN should be the same on each
switch where nodes of the VLAN are connected.

Note

A VLAN must be assigned a name.

Type
Select Port Based as the Type to create a port-based or tagged
VLAN. This is the only option.

Note

You must use the menus or command line interface to create a MAC
address-based VLAN or protected ports VLAN.
