Creating a VLAN interface

You can use the Create VLAN Interface dialog box to add or modify a VLAN. A VLAN is indistinguishable from a physical network interface after it is created. The physical interface must be down before you can add a VLAN. You cannot add an interface alias to a physical VLAN but you can add an alias to VLAN interfaces.

Steps

1.	From the Home tab, double-click the appropriate storage system to display a subtree of management features.

2.	Click Configuration > Network > Interfaces.

3.	Click Create VLAN.

4.	Select a physical interface for the VLAN from the drop-down list.

Note: The drop-down list includes only an Ethernet interface or a virtual interface (vif). Enabled interfaces, interfaces that are included in another vif, an existing VLAN interface, and a physical VLAN are not included in the list.

5.	Type a VLAN tag in the VLAN tag box and click Add.

Note: A VLAN tag is a numerical value between 1 and 4,094 that identifies the VLAN.

6.	Click Create.
