Create New VLAN
The Create New VLAN menu, displayed in Figure 27, is used to create a new VLAN. The
default value is that all ports belong to one VLAN. You can create up to eight separate
VLANs. Ports can belong to two VLANs at the same time. Each VLAN is a broadcast
domain. If you have created a trunking group, you must include the entire trunk group in the
VLAN.

New VLAN Name
Is the name of the VLAN you are creating. All VLANs must have a unique name.
Port #
Is the number of the port. The numbers on the panel match the ports on the DES-3216. Some
ports are combined. For example, ports 1 and 3 are shown as “Port 1/3”. Ports that are
grouped together must be part of the same VLAN.
TrunkGroup
This field identifies the trunk group that the port has been assigned to. The field is open if the
port has not been assigned to a Trunk Group.
Status
The status field can be either available or selected. Available indicates that the port is
available for inclusion in a VLAN. Selected indicates the port has been assigned to a VLAN.
