KB.15.15

NOTE: If you create an IPv4 protocol VLAN, you must assign the ARP protocol

option to it to provide IP address resolution. Otherwise, IP packets are not

deliverable. A Caution message appears in the CLI if you configure IPv4 in protocol

VLAN that does not already include the ARP protocol option. The same message

appears if you add or delete another protocol in the same VLAN.

name ascii-name-string

When included in a vlan command to create a new static VLAN, this command

specifies a non-default VLAN name. Also used to change the current name of an

existing VLAN.

NOTE: Avoid spaces and the following characters in the ascii-name-string

entry: @, #:, $, ^, &, *, (, and). To include a blank space in a VLAN name,

enclose the name in single or double quotes.

voice

Designates a VLAN for VoIP use.

NOTE: You can use these options from the configuration level by beginning the

command with vlan vid, or from the context level of the specific VLAN by just

entering the command option.

Example 11 Creating a new port-based static VLAN

The following example shows how to create a new port-based, static VLAN with a VID of 100

using the following steps:

1. To create the new VLAN, type the vlan 100 command.

2. To show the VLANs currently configured in the switch, type the show vlans command.

If the Management VLAN field (Primary VLAN : DEFAULT_VLAN Management VLAN shown

in the display information below) is empty, a Secure Management VLAN is not configured in the

switch.
