Create a Port-Based VLAN
Create a port-based VLAN. To create a different type of VLAN, see one of the following procedures:
Procedure
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:
|
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 ( ). For more information, see Secondary IP Addresses Field Descriptions. |
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.
