3.4.1 Defining a VLAN
To define a VLAN, proceed as follows:
1. Use the arrow keys to highlight the VLAN ID field.
2. Enter the VLAN ID using a unique number between 2 and 4094. The VLAN IDs of 0, 1, and
4095 may not be used for user-defined VLANs.
If an illegal number is entered, the Event Message Line will display: ”PERMISSIBLE RANGE
FOR VLAN IDS: 2 to 4094” and the field will refresh with the previous value.
3. If the VLAN is to be assigned to a different filtering database, use the arrow keys to highlight
the FID field. If the VLAN is not going to be assigned to a different FID, go to Step 5 .
4. Type in the ID number of the FID.
5. Use the arrow keys to highlight the VLAN Name field.
VLAN ID - lower part of
screen (Modifiable) Enter input to select or define a new VLAN ID.
FID - lower part of screen
(Modifiable) Display the FID currently associated with the VLAN typed in the
VLAN ID field. A new number can be typed into the FID field to
reassign the VLAN to a different filtering database. Each VLAN
will default to a FID that matches its VLAN ID and can be
changed to a FID from 1 to 1094.
VLAN Name - lower part
of screen (Modifiable) Assign or change names of VLANs. The VLAN Name (with up
to 32 characters) is an optional attribute of a VLAN, and is not
required for VLAN operation.
ADD/DEL (Toggle) Toggle the action taken between adding the entered VLAN to the
switch or deleting the selected VLAN from the switch.
NOTE: Each VLAN ID must be unique. If a duplicate VLAN ID is entered, the switch
assumes that the Administrator intends to modify the existing VLAN.
