VLAN Configuration - New VLAN Window
This window appears when you click New on the VLAN Configuration
tab of the VTP Management window. Use it to complete
the task of adding a new VLAN.
To add a new Ethernet VLAN:
- In the VLAN ID field, enter the number of the Ethernet VLAN.
- In the VLAN Name field, enter a VLAN name from 1 to 32 characters
that is unique within the administrative domain.
The default name is VLANxxxx where xxxx represents four digits
(including leading zeros) equal to the VLAN ID number.
- Select Ethernet from the VLAN Media Type list.
If you are changing an existing VLAN, the media type is already selected.
- In the 802.10 SAID (security association identifier) field, enter
a number from 1 to 4294967294 that is unique within the administrative domain.
The default is 100000 plus the VLAN ID.
- In the MTU Size field, enter a number from 1500 to 18190 for the
maximum transmission unit (packet size in bytes) that the VLAN can use.
The default is 1500.
- If you are translationally bridging from one VLAN type to another (such
as from Ethernet to FDDI), in the Translational Bridge 1 and Translational
Bridge 2 fields, enter the VLAN IDs (from 1 to 1005) of the two VLANs
to which this VLAN is translationally bridging.
By default, these fields are set to 0, which means translational bridging
is not in effect.
- In the VLAN Status list, select Active.
By default, Suspended is selected. When the status is suspended, all
traffic for that VLAN is blocked on all switches in the management domain.
- Click OK to put your changes in effect.
To add a new non-Ethernet VLAN:
- By default, this window contains configuration parameters for Ethernet VLANs.
Select a non-Ethernet media type from the VLAN Media Type list.
A new window appears that contains configuration parameters for the media
type that you selected.
- See the instructions for the media type you want to configure:
