Configuring VLANs

Creating/Modifying VLANs

OmniSwitch AOS Release 6 Network Configuration Guide

page 4-7

To create more than 253 VLANs on a switch running in the 1x1 Spanning Tree mode, use the vlan stp 
disable, vlan 1x1 stp disable, or vlan flat stp disable command to create a VLAN with Spanning Tree 
disabled. See 

 for more information.

To view a list of VLANs already configured on the switch, use the 

 command. See 

 for more information.

To enable or disable the administrative status for an existing VLAN, enter vlan followed by an existing 
VLAN ID and either enable or disable. 

-> vlan 755 disable

-> vlan 255 enable

When the administrative status for a VLAN is disabled, VLAN port assignments are retained but traffic is 
not forwarded on these ports. If any rules were defined for the VLAN, they are also retained and continue 
to classify mobile port traffic. See 

 for more information.

To change the description for a VLAN, enter vlan followed by an existing VLAN ID and the keyword 
name followed by the new description (up to 32 characters). For example, the following command 
changes the description for VLAN 455 to “Marketing IP Network”:

-> vlan 455 name “Marketing IP Network”

Note that quotation marks are required if the description consists of multiple words separated by spaces. If 
the description consists of only one word or words are separated by another character, such as a hyphen, 
then quotes are not required. For example,

-> vlan 455 name Marketing-IP-Network
