configuring cisco switch sg-300 20 can't change vlan name

  • 772

I have this very strange issue. Not a biggy because I can do it using the GUI but it still drive me nuts. Just out of curiosity whether anyone has been through this and know the answer to it. It's actually very simple. What I'm trying to do is to create a simple vlan and add name to that vlan. Nothing special. I can use this standard IOS command on my Catalyst 3560.

enable
conf t
vlan 10
name New Vlan
end

simple right? However when I tried to use the same command on my SG300-20, it doesn't work.

enable
% Unrecognized command

Ok so I ignore "enable" and go straight to configuration terminal

conf t
vlan 10
name New Vlan
% Unrecognized command

Can't do it? Very strange. Again, it's not a biggy but I'm more curious to learn whether there's actually a different IOS language that I need to learn. Using GUI is nice but documentation for me is such a pain more than just a command line. Anyone would like to take a stab on this and help me learn a new trick? Please advise?

  1. Thanks @Yoonix. I wasn't expecting the CLI to be same just as I wasn't expecting command line for CentOS to be same like Ubuntu even though both are linux. I was asking for anyone who has done it to share the information if they have one. I found the answer to my question btw. Here is how they do it. 

    conf t 
vlan 10 
int vlan 10 
name New Vlan 
end

    Goodness gracious Cisco..
