Create a Port-Based VLAN

Create a port-based VLAN. To create a different type of VLAN, see one of the following procedures:

Procedure

  1. In the navigation pane, expand Configuration > VLAN.
  2. Select VLANs.
  3. In the Basic tab, select Insert.
  4. In the Id box, enter an unused VLAN ID, or use the ID provided.
  5. In the Name box, type the VLAN name, or use the name provided.
  6. In the Color Identifier box, select the down arrow and choose a color from the list, or use the color provided.
  7. In the MstpInstance box, select the down arrow and choose an msti instance from the list.
  8. In the Type box, select byPort.
  9. In the PortMembers box, select the ellipsis (...).
  10. Select the ports to add as member ports.

    The ports that are selected are recessed. Nonselected ports are not recessed. You cannot select a Port number that is dimmed as a VLAN port members.

  11. Select OK.
  12. Select Insert.

Basic Field Descriptions

Use the data in the following table to use the Basic tab.

Name

Description

Id

Specifies the VLAN ID in the range of 2 to 4059. VLAN ID 1 is the default VLAN and you cannot create or delete VLAN ID 1. By default, the system reserves VLAN IDs 4060 to 4094 for internal use. On switches that support the vrf-scaling and spbm-config-mode boot configuration flags, if you enable these flags, the system also reserves VLAN IDs 3500 to 3998.

Name

Specifies the name of the VLAN.

IfIndex

Specifies the logical interface index assigned to the VLAN.

Color Identifier

Specifies a proprietary color scheme to associate a color with the VLAN. Color does not affect how frames are forwarded.

Type

Specifies the type of VLAN:

  • byPort

  • byProtocolId

  • spbm-bvlan

  • private

MstpInstance

Identifies the MSTP instance.

VrfId

Indicates the Virtual Router to which the VLAN belongs.

VrfName

Indicates the name of the Virtual Router to which the VLAN belongs.

PortMembers

Specifies the slot/port of each VLAN member. The system displays the sub-port only for channelized ports.

ActiveMembers

Specifies the slot/port of each VLAN member. The system displays the sub-port only for channelized ports.

StaticMembers

Specifies the slot/port of each static member of a policy-based VLAN. The system displays the sub-port only for channelized ports.

NotAllowToJoin

Specifies the slot/ports that are never allowed to become a member of the policy-based VLAN. The system displays the sub-port only for channelized ports.

ProtocolId

Specifies the network protocol for protocol-based VLANs. This value is taken from the Assigned Numbers of remote function call (RFC).

If the VLAN type is port-based, none is displayed in the Basic tab ProtocolId field.

AgingTime

Specifies the timeout period, in seconds, to age out dynamic members of this VLAN. This parameter only applies to policy-based VLANs.

The default is 600.

Clear Secondary IPs

Removes all secondary IP addresses on a VLAN simultaneously.

To remove specific secondary IP addresses from a VLAN, use the Secondary IP Addresses tab (Configuration > VLAN > VLANs > Basic > IP). For more information, see Secondary IP Addresses Field Descriptions.

Note

Note

If you or another user changes the name of an existing VLAN using the VLAN Basic tab (or using CLI), the system does not display the new name initially in EDM. To display the updated name, perform one of the following actions:

  • Refresh your browser to reload EDM.

  • Log out of EDM and log in again to restart EDM.

  • Select Refresh in the VLAN Basic tab toolbar. If the system displays the old VLAN name in other tabs, select Refresh on those tabs as well.
