Create a basic 802.1Q VLAN and assign ports as members

A basic 802.1Q VLAN configuration lets you create VLANs and assign ports on the switch
to a VLAN. A port that functions in access mode can be member of a single VLAN only.
The number of VLANs is limited to the number of ports on the switch. You can assign
a VLAN ID number in the range of 1–4093.
