Configuring a Virtual LAN (VLAN)

Configuring a Virtual LAN (VLAN)
Use this procedure to assign ports to create a VLAN, including a
virtual router, if desired. By default, all the ports on your
FORMULA 8200 are assigned to VLAN 1. If this configuration suits
your needs, use VLAN 1 to define port assignments. Otherwise,
create more VLANs to establish user groups and manage network
traffic.
As you create additional VLANs, the ports you assign to them are
removed from VLAN 1 (that is, a port cannot be in two VLANs at the
same time).
To configure a VLAN:
The following steps are for creating VLAN 2 and for assigning ports 4
and 5 to VLAN 2. If you use these steps to create a VLAN, be sure to
assign your own VLAN name, port numbers, IP address, and so on.
1. From the switch on which the ports reside, enter:
/VLAN/CONFIG
2. Create VLAN 2 by entering:
CREATE 2
3. Answer each prompt as it appears, and then confirm with a y at
the end. Refer to the following example (bolded text represents
user entries):
In the example:
❑ The VLAN Description shown here is TEST, but you can enter
any text up to 32 characters.
❑ The Initial Ports parameter allows you to specify which ports
are included in the VLAN. This can be modified later by using
one of the following commands:
VLAN/CONFIG/ADDPORT<PORT#> <VLAN#> to add one or
more ports.
/VLAN/CONFIG/CREATE 2
VLAN ID : 2
VLAN Description (VLAN 2) : TEST
Initial Ports : 4 5
VLAN enabled (yes) : y
VLAN 2 is successfully created
