It is very easy to create and name a static VLAN. Refer our lab setup below, where two switches are connected using a trunk link.

To create and name a static VLAN, open console connection to Switch 1, and move to global configuration mode. Enter the following IOS commands to create VLAN 10 and name VLAN 10 as 'engineering'.

omnisecu.com.sw01>enable
omnisecu.com.sw01#configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
omnisecu.com.sw01(config)#vlan 10
omnisecu.com.sw01(config-vlan)#name engineering
omnisecu.com.sw01(config-vlan)#exit
omnisecu.com.sw01(config)#exit
omnisecu.com.sw01#

Enter the following IOS commands to create another VLAN, VLAN 20 and name VLAN 20 as 'planning'.

omnisecu.com.sw01>enable
omnisecu.com.sw01#configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
omnisecu.com.sw01(config)#vlan 20
omnisecu.com.sw01(config-vlan)#name planning
omnisecu.com.sw01(config-vlan)#exit
omnisecu.com.sw01(config)#exit
omnisecu.com.sw01#

To delete the VLAN, just use the no form of the above command.

omnisecu.com.sw01(config)#no vlan 10
