the screen.

created on the switch, use a unique number between 2 and 4094. The
VLAN IDs of 0, 1, and 4095 may not be used for user-defined VLANs.
A FID will automatically be assigned to the new VLAN ID. The FID
assigned will have the same value.
If an illegal number is entered, the Event Message Line will display:
"PERMISSIBLE RANGE FOR VLAN IDS: 2 to 4094" and the field
will refresh with the previous value.
Each VLAN ID must be unique. If a duplicate VLAN ID is

entered, the switch assumes that the Administrator intends to
modify the existing VLAN.
