5. Select the VID field and enter a VID value for the new VLAN. The
range of the VID value is 2 to 4096. The default is the next available
VID number on the switch.
The switch is only aware of the VIDs of the VLANs that exist on the
device, and not those that might already be in use in the network. For
example, if you add a new AT-9400 Series switch to a network that
already contains VLANs that use VIDs 2 through 24, the AT-S63
software will still use VID 2 as the default value when you create the
first VLAN on the new switch, even though that VID number is already
being used by another VLAN on the network. 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.
Note
A VLAN must have a VID.
6. Select the Name field and enter 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 will be a
part of the VLAN (for example, Sales or Accounting). The name cannot
contain spaces or special characters, such as asterisks (*) or
exclamation points (!).
Note
A VLAN must be assigned a name.
