The VLAN Configuration screen (

) allows you to create and assign 

VLAN port memberships to standalone or stacked unit ports. You can create 
port-based and policy-based VLANs for the following purposes:

•

IEEE 802.1Q port-based VLANs allow you to explicitly configure switch 
ports as VLAN port members.

When you create a port-based VLAN, you assign a Port VLAN Identifier (PVID) 
manually, or use Auto PVID to assign it automatically. 

When you configure ports as VLAN port members, they become part of a set of 
ports that form a broadcast domain for a specific VLAN. You can assign switch 
ports, whether standalone or stacked unit ports, as VLAN port members of one or 
more VLANs.

You can add or remove port members from a VLAN in accordance with the 
IEEE 802.1Q tagging rules. See 

 

for a description of important terms used with 802.1Q VLANs.

You can also use this screen to create and to delete specific VLANs, to assign 
VLAN names, and to assign any VLAN as the management VLAN.

To open the VLAN Configuration screen:

Choose VLAN Configuration (or press v) from the VLAN Configuration 
Menu screen.
