To configure switch ports using the CLI, enter the following
command from Configure mode:
<configure># set port <options>
Refer to the Command Reference Guide for the Avaya P550R, P580, P880,
and P882 Multiservice Switches, Version 5.3for more details about this

Refer to “ VLAN Operation ” in Chapter 4 for more
information on creating VLANs.
You can configure port VLAN parameters using either
the Web Agent or the CLI.
Automatic VLAN Creation
Automatic VLAN creation is done by enabling the ‘Automatic VLAN
Creation’ parameter on an individual port under the ‘Module &
Ports’>Configuration >Switch Ports > name menu. With this
parameter enabled, the port will automatically create a VLAN each
time it receives a frame from an unknown VLAN ID in received
IEEE 802.1Q and Multi-Layer tagged frames.
