Purpose
Enters configuration mode.
Places you into the VLAN configuration submode. If the
VLAN does not exist, the system creates the specified
VLAN and then enters the VLAN configuration submode.
Names the VLAN. You can enter up to 32 alphanumeric
characters to name the VLAN. You cannot change the name
of VLAN1 or the internally allocated VLANs. The default
value is VLANxxxx where xxxx represent four numeric
digits (including leading zeroes) equal to the VLAN ID
number.
Note 128-character names are supported (VLAN
Long-Name).
Sets the state of the VLAN to active or suspend. While the
VLAN state is suspended, the ports associated with this
VLAN become inactive, and that VLAN does not pass any
traffic. The default state is active. You cannot suspend the
state for the default VLAN or VLANs 1006 to 3967.
