How To Configure a VLAN

In the factory default configuration, all ports on the Switch 800T belong to a
physical broadcast domain named "DEFAULT_VLAN". You can divide the
switch ports into multiple virtual broadcast domains by adding one or more
VLANs. Because the default VLAN permanently exists in the switch, adding
one new VLAN results in two VLANs existing in the switch. Adding another
VLAN results in three VLANs existing in the switch, and so on.

If you add one or more new VLAN(s), you should then reboot the switch. (A
new VLAN will not appear as an option in the Port VLAN Assignment screen
until after the switch is rebooted.) If you create a new VLAN without also
rebooting the switch, you will be prompted to choose whether to reboot the
switch before entering the Port VLAN Assignment screen. When you move a
port to a VLAN, the new assignment is automatically enabled, and it is not
necessary to reboot the switch a second time.
To create a new VLAN and/or move ports into a VLAN, use the following two
procedures.
If you are managing VLANs with SNMP in an IP network, either configure
an IP address and subnet mask for each VLAN or use the (default) Bootp
feature to download an IP configuration from a Bootp server. Refer to
"Internet (IP) Service Features" on page 3-9 or to appendix E, "Bootp
Operation".
If you are managing VLANs with SNMP in an IPX network, configure the
IPX gateway encapsulation and gateway node. (An IPX node address is
automatically assigned to each VLAN interface.) Refer to "IPX Service
Features'' on page 3-7.
