3.4. Create Two Empty VLANs

A topology must be bound to a unique VLAN. Since the layer topologies won't be listening on actual client-facing VLANs, you will need to create a separate empty VLAN for each topology you intend to create. An empty VLAN has no interfaces assigned.

  1. Navigate to Network > VLANs and click on the Create button to add a new VLAN.

  2. Name this VLAN: zzz-vlan and then click on Repeat. Do not select any interfaces.

  3. Since you are not attaching any interfaces to this VLAN, you will receive a confirmation pop-up.

  4. Click on OK to continue.

  5. Since we clicked Repeat, we are automatically ready to create the second empty VLAN.

  6. Name this VLAN: yyy-vlan and then click on Finished.

  7. Since you are not attaching any interfaces to this VLAN, you will receive a confirmation pop-up. Click on OK to continue and return to the VLAN List.
