Chapter 10 Configuring VLANs
Creating and Modifying VLANs
To return the VLAN name to the default settings, use the no name or no mtu VLAN configuration
command.
This example shows how to create Ethernet VLAN 20, name it test20, and add it to the VLAN database:
Switch#
configure terminal
Switch(config)#
vlan 20
Switch(config-vlan)#
name test20
Switch(config-vlan)#
end
This example shows how to create a new extended-range VLAN with all default characteristics, enter
config-vlan mode, and save the new VLAN in the switch startup configuration file:
Switch(config)#
vlan 2000
Switch(config-vlan)#
end
Switch#
copy running-config startup config
Assigning Static-Access Ports to a VLAN
You can assign a static-access port to a VLAN.
Note
If you assign an interface to a VLAN that does not exist, the new VLAN is created. (See the
“Creating
or Modifying an Ethernet VLAN” section on page 10-7
.)
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to assign a port to a VLAN in the VLAN
database:
To return an interface to its default configuration, use the default interface interface-id interface
configuration command.
This example shows how to configure a port as an access port in VLAN 2:
Switch#
configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Switch(config)#
interface gigabithernet0/1
Switch(config-if)#
switchport mode access
Switch(config-if)#
switchport access vlan 2
Switch(config-if)#
end
Command
Purpose
Step 1
configure terminal
Enter global configuration mode
Step 2
interface interface-id
Enter the interface to be added to the VLAN.
Step 3
switchport mode access
Define the VLAN membership mode for the port (Layer 2 access
port).
Step 4
switchport access vlan vlan-id
Assign the port to a VLAN. Valid VLAN IDs are 1 to 4094.
Step 5
end
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 6
show running-config interface interface-id Verify the VLAN membership mode of the interface.
Step 7
show interfaces interface-id switchport
Verify your entries in the Administrative Mode and the Access Mode
VLAN fields of the display.
Step 8
copy running-config startup-config
(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
