Step

Command

Remarks

1. Enter system view.

system-view

N/A

2. (Optional.) Create a VLAN and enter its view, or create a list of VLANs.

vlan { vlan-id1 [ to vlan-id2 ] | all }

By default, only the system default VLAN (VLAN 1) exists.

3. Enter VLAN view.

vlan vlan-id

To configure a VLAN after you create a list of VLANs, you must perform this step.

4. Set a name for the VLAN.

name text

By default, the name of a VLAN is VLAN vlan-id. The vlan-id argument specifies the VLAN ID in a four-digit format. If the VLAN ID has fewer than four digits, leading zeros are added. For example, the name of VLAN 100 is VLAN 0100.

5. Set the description for the VLAN.

description text

By default, the description of a VLAN is VLAN vlan-id. The vlan-id argument specifies the VLAN ID in a four-digit format. If the VLAN ID has fewer than four digits, leading zeros are added. For example, the default description of VLAN 100 is VLAN 0100.


[NOTE: ]

NOTE:

  • As the system default VLAN, VLAN 1 cannot be created or deleted.

  • Before you delete a dynamic VLAN or a VLAN locked by an application, you must first remove the configuration from the VLAN.
