5. Adjust the following parameters as necessary.
VID
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.
If this VLAN is unique in your network, then its VID should also be
unique. If this VLAN is part of a larger VLAN that spans multiple
switches, then the VID value for the VLAN should be the same on
each switch. For example, if you are creating a VLAN called Sales
that spans three switches, you should assign the Sales VLAN on
each switch the same VID value.
Note
A VLAN must have a VID.
It is important to note that 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 management software still uses 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
