Creating VLANs
You can create a VLAN, but this has no effect until the VLAN is attached to at least
one port, either manually or dynamically. Ports must always belong to one or more
VLANs.
The 200 Series device supports up to 256 VLANs, including the default VLAN.
Each VLAN must be configured with a unique VID (VLAN ID) with a value from
1 to 4094. The device reserves VID 4095 as the Discard VLAN. All packets
classified to the Discard VLAN are discarded at ingress, and are not forwarded to
a port.

the VLAN parameters.
The page enables the creation of either a single VLAN or a range of VLANs.
STEP 3 To create a single VLAN, select the VLAN radio button, enter the VLAN ID (VID),
