Default VLAN
4-14
The switch supports up to 256 different VLANs. Each VLAN is given a
name that can be up to 32 characters. VLAN names can use standard
alphanumeric characters. The following characters are not permitted
in a VLAN name:
Space
Comma
Quotation mark
VLAN names must begin with an alphabetical letter. Quotation
marks can be used to enclose a VLAN name that does not begin with
an alphabetical character, or that contains a space, comma, or other
special character.
VLAN names are locally significant. That is, VLAN names used on one
switch are only meaningful to that switch. If another switch is
connected to it, the VLAN names have no significance to the other
switch.
You should use VLAN names consistently across your entire network.
The switch ships with one default VLAN that has the following
properties:
The VLAN name is default.
It contains all the ports on a new or initialized switch.
The default VLAN is untagged on all ports. It has an internal
VLANid of 1.
