Creating VLAN interfaces
You can create a VLAN for ease of administration, confinement of broadcast domains, reduced network traffic, and enforcement of security policies. You cannot add an interface alias to a physical VLAN, but you can add an alias to VLAN interfaces.
Before you begin 
The status of the physical interface and virtual interface must be down.
To create a VLAN from a virtual interface, you must ensure that the virtual interface name does not exceed 10 characters. Otherwise, some VLAN tags might not be visible and you might not be able to create a VLAN.
About this task 
You can only view the configuration settings for storage systems running Data ONTAP versions earlier than 7.3.3.
Steps 
1.
From the Home tab, double-click the appropriate storage system.
2.
In the navigation pane, click Configuration > Network > Network Interfaces.
3.
Click Create VLAN.
4.
Select a physical interface for the VLAN from the drop-down list.
The drop-down list includes only an Ethernet interface or an interface group. Enabled interfaces, interfaces that are included in another interface group, an existing VLAN interface, or a physical VLAN are not included in the list.
5.
Type a VLAN tag in the VLAN tag box and click Add.
Note: You cannot add duplicate VLAN tags.
6.
Click Create.
7.
Verify that the VLAN you created is included in the list of VLANs in the Network Interfaces window.
