  4. Enter the VLAN ID and optionally enter the VLAN name.

    The VLAN ID value ranges from 1 through 4095, except 4087, and 4090 through 4094. The default VLAN ID is 1.

  5. Configure these optional settings in the Add VLAN sidebar:
    1. Toggle ON the IPv4 DHCP Snooping and ARP Inspection options to enhance network security.
    2. IGMP Snooping is disabled by default (drop-down option is set to NONE). You can use the drop-down list to select Active or Passive. If Active or Passive is selected, then the Multicast Version option becomes active.
    3. Select Multicast Version from the list (Version 2 or Version 3) depending on which version is supported by your network and the network devices it is compatible with. The default value is Version 2.
    4. Select Spanning tree protocol from the list (RSTP, STP, and NONE).
    5. Click Add Ports to select the untagged and tagged ports from the switch panel in the pop-up Add Ports window. Click Add to close the window.
  6. Click Add on the sidebar to add the switch-level VLAN.

    You can see the VLAN ID configured on a per-ICX switch basis by viewing the VLANs sub-tab.

  7. (Optional) From the VLANs tab, click Default VLAN Settings to edit the default VLAN settings, such as VLAN ID and Spanning tree protocol.
    Note: It is recommended not to change the default VLAN ID unless the VLAN ID already exists on the switch(es).
  8. (Optional) To edit a VLAN setting, click a specific VLAN ID checkbox, click Edit, and in the Edit VLAN sidebar, update the desired fields and click Save.
  9. (Optional) To delete a VLAN, click a specific VLAN ID checkbox, click Delete. In the Delete confirmation message that appears, click Delete. A message confirming successful deletion is displayed.
