Chapter 22: Protected Ports VLANs

504

Section III: VLANs

Note

A VLAN must be assigned a name.

6. Type 2 to select VLAN ID (VID.

The following prompt is displayed:

Enter new value -> [2 to 4094] ->

7. Type a VID value for the new VLAN. The range for the VID value is 1 to

4094.

The AT-S63 management software uses the next available VID
number on the switch as the default value. 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 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.

8. If the VLAN will contain tagged ports, type 3 to select Tagged Ports

and specify the ports. If this VLAN will not contain any tagged ports,
leave this field empty.

You can specify the ports individually (e.g., 2,3,5), as a range (e.g.,
7-9), or both (e.g., 2,5,7-9).

9. Type 4 to select Untagged Ports and specify the ports on the switch

to function as untagged ports in the VLAN. If this VLAN will not
contain any untagged ports, leave this field empty.

You can specify the ports individually (e.g., 2,3,5), as a range (e.g.,
7-9), or both (e.g., 2,5,7-9).
