Chapter 11 Configuring VLANs
Configuring Normal-Range VLANs
For more detailed definitions of access and trunk modes and their functions, see
Table 11-4 on
page 11-18
.
When a port belongs to a VLAN, the switch learns and manages the addresses associated with the port
on a per-VLAN basis. For more information, see the
“Managing the MAC Address Table” section on
page 5-19
.
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 11-12
.
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.
Voice VLAN
A voice VLAN port is an access port attached to a Cisco
IP Phone, configured to use one VLAN for voice traffic
and another VLAN for data traffic from a device attached
to the phone.
For more information about voice VLAN ports, see
Chapter 13, “Configuring Voice VLAN.”
VTP is not required; it has no affect on a
voice VLAN.
Private VLAN
A private VLAN port is a host or promiscuous port that
belongs to a private VLAN primary or secondary VLAN.
For information about private VLANs, see
Chapter 14,
“Configuring Private VLANs.”
The switch must be in VTP transparent
mode when you configure private VLANs.
When private VLANs are configured on the
switch, do not change VTP mode from
transparent to client or server mode.
Tunnel
(
dot1q-tunnel
)
Tunnel ports are used for IEEE 802.1Q tunneling to
maintain customer VLAN integrity across a
service-provider network. You configure a tunnel port on
an edge switch in the service-provider network and
connect it to an IEEE 802.1Q trunk port on a customer
interface, creating an asymetric link. A tunnel port belongs
to a single VLAN that is dedicated to tunneling.
For more information about tunnel ports, see
Chapter 15,
“Configuring IEEE 802.1Q and Layer 2 Protocol
Tunneling.”
VTP is not required. You manually assign
the tunnel port to a VLAN by using the
switchport access vlan
interface
configuration command.
