2. Enter the VLAN ID. If a new VLAN ID is entered that has not been created on the switch, use
a unique number between 2 and 4094. The VLAN IDs of 0, 1, and 4095 may not be used for
user-defined VLANs.
A FID will automatically be assigned to the new VLAN ID. The FID assigned will have the
same value.
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. Use the arrow keys to highlight the Protocol field at the bottom of the screen.
4. Use the SPACE bar to step to the appropriate protocol type; IP, IPX, Appletalk, Netbios,
Banyan Vines, DECNET, or CUSTOM. If CUSTOM is selected, Ether Type 0x0 displays. The
user’s own Ether Type can then be entered if necessary.
5. Use the arrow keys to highlight the Configure Ports field near the bottom of the screen.
6. Press the SPACE bar to toggle the field to apply the VLAN ID and Protocol Type entries to
either ALL PORTS or NO PORTS.
7. If CUSTOM was selected in the Protocol Type field, use the arrow keys to highlight the Ether
type field. Otherwise, go to step 9.
8. Enter your particular protocol type in the Ether type field.
9. Use the arrow keys to highlight the Action field.
10. Press the SPACE bar to toggle the field to either ADD/MODIFY or DELETE the settings
selected in the VLAN ID and Protocol Type fields.
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.
NOTE: Any Ether Type entered in the Ether Type field and saved will become part of the
selection in the Protocol field.
TIP: To see if there are VLANs currently assigned to the Protocol displayed in the
Protocol field, press ENTER.
