How to create a VLAN?

VLAN stands for “Virtual Local Area Network”. VLAN tags (represented by a unique number from 1 to 4095) are used to create virtual networks on top of the existing network infrastructure. By attaching tags to data packets coming from a specified origin, one can distinguish between these data packets and other network traffic.

To create a VLAN, you need to:

  1. Log into the Plasma Cloud console;
  2. Select the Organisation and Network you want to create a VLAN for from top right menu;
  3. Navigate to Settings > VLANs > Create new VLAN in the main menu on the left;
  4. Type the VLAN name and VLAN ID (tag) and click Create;

The console will notify you once the operation has succeeded.

To make the created VLAN effective, it needs to be configured on a port, wired client or SSID. To learn more, please see the following articles:
