ports

Specifies the ports on the stack that are tagged or
untagged members of the new VLAN. This
parameter must be followed by the FRAME
parameter. Port numbers are specified in the
following format:

module ID.port number

For instructions, refer to “Port Numbers in

Commands” on page 42.

frame

Specifies whether the ports of the VLAN are to be

tagged or untagged. This parameter must be used
with the PORTS parameter.

taggedports

Specifies the tagged ports for the VLAN. To specify

all ports on the stack, use ALL. Omit this parameter
if the VLAN does not contain tagged ports.

untaggedports

Specifies the untagged ports for the VLAN. To

specify all ports on the stack, use ALL. Omit this
parameter if the VLAN does not contain untagged
ports.

Description

This command creates port-based and tagged VLANs. It has two
syntaxes. You can use either syntax to create a VLAN. The difference
between the two is how the member ports of the VLAN are specified.
Syntax 1 can create a VLAN with either tagged or untagged ports, but not
both. Alternatively, Syntax 2 can create a VLAN that has both types of
ports. This is illustrated in the Examples section below.

When you create a new VLAN, the untagged ports of the VLAN are
automatically removed from their current untagged VLAN assignment,
because a port can be an untagged member of only one VLAN at a time.
For example, creating a new VLAN with untagged Ports 2.1 to 2.4
automatically removes these ports from whichever VLAN they are
currently untagged members.

The PVID of an untagged port is automatically changed to match the VID
number of the VLAN where it is added. For instance, if you add port 4 as
an untagged member of a VLAN with a VID of 15, the PVID for port 4 is
automatically changed to 15.

Tagged ports of the new VLAN remain as tagged and untagged members
of their current VLAN assignments. No change is made to a tagged port’s
current VLAN assignments, other than its addition to the new VLAN. This
is because a tagged port can belong to more than one VLAN at a time. For
example, if you add port 1.6 as a tagged port to a new VLAN, the port
remains a member of its other current untagged and tagged VLAN
