Creating VLAN and Assigning Name on a Catalyst IOS Switch

How can VLAN 5 be successfully created and named as SALES on a Catalyst IOS switch?

Which commands will accomplish this task?

Answer:

The correct commands to create and name VLAN 5 as SALES on a Catalyst IOS switch are 'Switch(config)#vlan 5' and 'Switch(config-vlan)#name SALES'.

Creating and naming VLANs on a Catalyst IOS switch requires specific commands to be executed in the correct order. In this scenario, the VLAN with the number 5 needs to be created and assigned the name SALES.

The correct sequence of commands to achieve this on a Catalyst IOS switch are as follows:

This command enters the VLAN configuration mode and specifies that VLAN 5 is being created.

This command assigns the name 'SALES' to VLAN 5, specifying the desired name for the newly created VLAN.

It is important to note that the 'name' command should be used within the VLAN-specific configuration mode and not in the global configuration mode. By following these commands, VLAN 5 will be successfully created and named as SALES on the Catalyst IOS switch.
