Chapter 1 Configuring VLANs
Configuring Normal-Range VLANs
To return the VLAN name to the default settings, use the no name , no mtu , or no remote-span
commands.
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
Deleting a VLAN
When you delete a VLAN from a switch that is in VTP server mode, the VLAN is removed from the
VLAN database for all switches in the VTP domain. When you delete a VLAN from a switch that is in
VTP transparent mode, the VLAN is deleted only on that specific switch or a switch stack.
You cannot delete the default VLANs for the different media types: Ethernet VLAN 1 and FDDI or
Token Ring VLANs 1002 to 1005.
Caution When you delete a VLAN, any ports assigned to that VLAN become inactive. They remain associated
with the VLAN (and thus inactive) until you assign them to a new VLAN.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to delete a VLAN on the switch:
Assigning Static-Access Ports to a VLAN
You can assign a static-access port to a VLAN without having VTP globally propagate VLAN
configuration information by disabling VTP (VTP transparent mode).
If you are assigning a port on a cluster member switch to a VLAN, first use the rcommand privileged
EXEC command to log in to the cluster member switch.
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 1-8 .)
Command Purpose
Step 1
configure terminal Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2
no vlan vlan-id Remove the VLAN by entering the VLAN ID.
Step 3 end Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 4 show vlan brief Verify the VLAN removal.
Step 5
copy running-config startup config (Optional) If the switch is in VTP transparent mode, the VLAN
configuration is saved in the running configuration file as well as in
the VLAN database. This saves the configuration in the switch startup
configuration file.
