Chapter 15 Configuring VLANs
Configuring Normal-Range VLANs
Configuring Normal-Range VLANs
Normal-range VLANs are VLANs with VLAN IDs 1 to 1005. If the switch is in VTP server or
VTP transparent mode, you can add, modify or remove configurations for VLANs 2 to 1001 in the
VLAN database. (VLAN IDs 1 and 1002 to 1005 are automatically created and cannot be removed.)
Note
When the switch is in VTP transparent mode, you can also create extended-range VLANs (VLANs with
IDs from 1006 to 4094), but these VLANs are not saved in the VLAN database. See the
“Configuring
Extended-Range VLANs” section on page 15-11
.
Configurations for VLAN IDs 1 to 1005 are written to the file
vlan.dat
(VLAN database), and you can
display them by entering the
show vlan
privileged EXEC command. The
vlan.dat
file is stored in flash
memory.
Caution
You can cause inconsistency in the VLAN database if you attempt to manually delete the
vlan.dat
file.
If you want to modify the VLAN configuration, use the commands described in these sections and in the
command reference for this release. To change the VTP configuration, see
Chapter 16, “Configuring
VTP.”
You use the interface configuration mode to define the port membership mode and to add and remove
ports from VLANs. The results of these commands are written to the running-configuration file, and you
can display the file by entering the
show running-config
privileged EXEC command.
You can set these parameters when you create a new normal-range VLAN or modify an existing VLAN
in the VLAN database:
•
VLAN ID
•
VLAN name
•
VLAN type (Ethernet, Fiber Distributed Data Interface [FDDI], FDDI network entity title [NET],
TrBRF, or TrCRF, Token Ring, Token Ring-Net)
•
VLAN state (active or suspended)
•
Maximum transmission unit (MTU) for the VLAN
•
Security Association Identifier (SAID)
•
Bridge identification number for TrBRF VLANs
•
Ring number for FDDI and TrCRF VLANs
•
Parent VLAN number for TrCRF VLANs
•
Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) type for TrCRF VLANs
•
VLAN number to use when translating from one VLAN type to another
Note
This section does not provide configuration details for most of these parameters. For complete
information on the commands and parameters that control VLAN configuration, see the command
reference for this release.
