Chapter 52: MAC Address-based VLAN Commands
794
VLAN MACADDRESS
Syntax
vlan
vid
name
name
type macaddress
Parameters
vid
Specifies a VLAN identifier in the range of 2 to 4094. VID 1 is
reserved for the Default_VLAN. You can specify only one VID.
The VID of a VLAN should be unique from all other VLANs in a
network, unless a VLAN spans multiple switches, in which case its
VID should be the same on all switches on which the VLAN
resides. For example, to create a VLAN called Sales that spans
three switches, you would assign it the same VID value on each
switch.
name
Specifies a name of up to 20 characters for the VLAN. The first
character of the name must be a letter; it cannot be a number.
VLANs will be easier to identify if their names reflect the functions
of their subnetworks or workgroups (for example, Sales or
Accounting). A name cannot contain spaces or special characters,
such as asterisks (*) or exclamation points (!). A name cannot be
the same as a name of an existing VLAN on the switch. A VLAN
that spans multiple switches should have the same name on each
switch.
Mode
VLAN Configuration mode
Description
Use this command to create new MAC address-based VLANs. You can
create just one VLAN at a time.
After creating a VLAN, use “VLAN SET MACADDRESS (Global
Configuration Mode)” on page 796 to add MAC addresses to it and “VLAN
SET MACADDRESS (Port Interface Mode)” on page 798 to assign the
addresses to egress ports.
Confirmation Command
“SHOW VLAN MACADDRESS” on page 792
