Adding ports to the new VLAN2 we created in previous step.
VLANs
First we will examine how we will do this in the router (how we are going to split the ports between vlans)
VLAN2 will use : PORTS 9 to 16 and 18 and 20
VLAN1 will keep: PORTS 1 to 8 and 17 and 19
You can set this as you wish but by default this is how we will configure the VLAN2.
- Go to "VLAN Management" and click on "PORT TO VLAN" on the menu, it will open the port to vlan pane on the right.
- Then select 2 in "VLAN ID equalsto" and click on the "GO" button, it will open a new pane with VLAN2 config.
- As you can see by default all the ports for this VLAN are marked as excluded.
We will want to change that so we will need to choose witch ports we are going to use...
Check the following figure, representing what we want to do.
- Now we are going to add the ports to our new vlan, for that change the Membership Type of the ports we want to add to VLAN2
from "EXCLUDED" to "TAGGED" as show in the picture bellow and click on "APPLY" to validate our changes.
- Then click on the "COPY/SAVE CONFIGURATION" link to go save this configuration.
- Save the current configuration into your startup configuration so you don't lose any changes if the device is rebooted..
- Click "DONE" to finish, you might want to reboot your switch.
