To create a VLAN, login to the Equinix Console and click on IPs & Networks and choose Layer 2 from the list.

Then click Add VLAN.

Then choose a facility and then give the VLAN a friendly name. The VLAN ID is created upon completion, so just a friendly name will suffice.

This will create the VLAN.

Note that this does not provision a subnet or IP range--you must decide upon this yourself as you assign networking to hosts.
