You cannot create VLANs with IDs from 3968 to 4047. This range of VLAN IDs is reserved.
VLANs in the LAN cloud and FCoE VLANs in the SAN cloud must have different IDs. Using the same
ID for a VLAN and an FCoE VLAN in a VSAN results in a critical fault and traffic disruption for all
vNICs and uplink ports using that VLAN. Ethernet traffic is dropped on any VLAN which has an ID that
overlaps with an FCoE VLAN ID.

Procedure
Step 1
In the LAN Uplinks Manager, click the VLANs tab.
Step 2
On the icon bar to the right of the table, click +.
If the + icon is disabled, click an entry in the table to enable it.
Step 3
In the Create VLANs dialog box, complete the following fields:
DescriptionName
For a single VLAN, this is the VLAN name. For a range of VLANs,
this is the prefix that the system uses for each VLAN name.
The VLAN name is case sensitive.
This name can be between 1 and 32 alphanumeric characters. You
cannot use spaces or any special characters other than - (hyphen), _
(underscore), : (colon), and . (period), and you cannot change this name
after the object has been saved.
VLAN Name/Prefix field
You can choose one of the following:
• Common/Global—The VLANs apply to both fabrics and use the
same configuration parameters in both cases
• Fabric A—The VLANs only apply to fabric A.
• Fabric B—The VLAN only apply to fabric B.
• Both Fabrics Configured Differently—The VLANs apply to
both fabrics but you can specify different VLAN IDs for each
fabric.
For upstream disjoint L2 networks, we recommend that you choose
Common/Global to create VLANs that apply to both fabrics.
