2.2 Multiple Virtual LANs
Configuring multiple VLANs on a switch to allow several broadcast domains within the switch or with other
switches is typically desired. Figure 5 shows how multiple ports from each switch can be assigned to the
same VLAN, allowing end devices attached to these ports to only communicate with each other via layer 2
switching.

VLAN 35
Multiple VLANs configured, with both switches assigning various ports to each VLAN
Use the following CLI examples to create multiple VLANs on both the Dell N-Series switches and Cisco
Catalyst switches and assign ports to the VLANs.
2.2.1 Configuring Multiple VLANS — Dell N-Series
The following commands illustrate how to create multiple VLANs on the Dell N-Series switches. First, the
switch is put in configuration mode, then the vlan 31-35 command is issued to create VLANs 31 through
35. Optionally, names can be given to each VLAN to help identify them. Configuration mode is then exited
and the show vlan command is issued to verify the creation of the VLANs.
N3024#configure
N3024(config)#vlan 31-35
