ONFIGURING
This section describes the commands associated with setting up VLANs on the
BlackDiamond. Configuring a VLAN involves the following steps:
1 Create and name the VLAN.
2 Assign an IP address and mask (if applicable) to the VLAN, if needed.
Each IP address and mask assigned to a VLAN must represent a unique IP
subnet. You cannot configure the same IP subnet on different VLANs.
3 Assign a VLANid, if any ports in this VLAN will use a tag.
4 Assign one or more ports to the VLAN.
As you add each port to the VLAN, decide if the port will use an 802.1Q tag.
