- [Instructor] So I'm now going to demonstrate,
how to configure brand new VLANs on the Cisco switch.
I'm going to go ahead and click on the west switch,
which brings up my command line interface.
I'm going to go ahead and maximize this window.
First thing I do is type configure from the terminal.
Hit enter.
So it's really easy to create a new VLAN.
You just type VLAN and the number,
in this case I'm going to use 10.
Actually, Cisco switches will allow you
to create over 4,000 different VLANs.
So you have quite a variety of numbers that you can pick,
when you create each one of your new VLANs.
Additionally, it's a best practice
to configure a unique name for each of the VLANs
you create on the switch.
This is done with the name command
while in the VLAN configuration mode.
So I'm going to go ahead and name this VLAN.
VLAN 10 I'm going to name it name, admin.
I hit enter and I'm going to go ahead and exit.
I'm going to create a few more VLANs on this switch,
just so that you can see how they all kind of stack up
when you do a show VLAN brief command.
And I'm going to do that in just a little bit.
So I'm going to go ahead VLAN 20
and let's name this payroll.
I'm going to go ahead and exit out.
VLAN 30 name,
how about research.
Exit out.
VLAN,
hmm let's do VLAN 100.
Name, wireless.
So that's how easy it is to create new VLANS on a switch.
I'm going to do a Control + Z.
Show VLAN brief again,
and you can see that I now have these four new VLANs
in the output of my show VLAN brief command.
And that is how you create new VLANs on a switch.
