How to create VLAN

Hello All! I am new to networking with meraki equipment (MS225-48FP) and was wondering how do you create a VLAN with these switches? The UI changed on our portal and I cannot find a guide to save my life. I am new to creating VLANs to begin with (this will be the first one I create outside of school). I have created a case to see if they would be willing to assist me in doing this but I thought I would reach out to the community as well 🙂

In Meraki, you don't need to create vlans for the switch to pass or tag vlan traffic. The switch has all vlans available by default.

 

You can however create a Vlan interface under Switch -> Routing & DHCP.

The vlan interface is used to allow routing to devices on the vlan.

 

A few docs that might help:

You just add them in the switch port configuration.  If you want a trunk you choose the native VLAN and all allowed tagged VLANs.  You can choose all or individual or ranges like: 10-20,31 If you make it access port you can choose the access VLAN and a voice VLAN that will work with CDP/LLDP devices.

 

At default every port is a trunk with native VLAN 1 and all VLANs allowed.

 

If you intend to route between VLANs then see this next: https://documentation.meraki.com/MS/Layer_3_Switching/MS_Layer_3_Switching_and_Routing#Initializing_...
