A.50 create VlanInterface

Creates a VLAN interface.

Syntax

create VlanInterface vlanId=value [ mtu=value ] name=value [ description=value ] on { Port | BondPort } instance

Where instance is:

{ id=value | name=value }

Description

This command creates a VLAN interface on either a port or a bond port.

To configure the IP address for a VLAN interface, use the embeddedCreate command.

Options

The following table shows the available options for this command.

Option	Description
`vlanId=value`	The ID of the VLAN interface. May be an integer between `2` and `4095`.
`mtu=value`	The MTU value. May be an integer between `1500` and `64000`.
`name=value`	A name to identify the VLAN interface.
`description=value`	Optional description for the VLAN interface. `value` is a maximum of 4,000 characters.
{ `id=value` \| `name=value` }	The instance of the object using either the `id` or `name` option, for example `name=MyPort`.

Note

Any create command only creates a single instance of an object, and therefore only accepts a single object instance as an attribute. Providing more than one object of the same attribute type as a parameter always results in the last attribute value taking precedence.
