Chapter 14 Configuring VLANs
Configuring VLANs
Assigning a Layer 2 LAN Interface to a VLAN
A VLAN created in a management domain remains unused until you assign one or more LAN ports to
the VLAN.
Note
Make sure you assign LAN ports to a VLAN of the appropriate type. Assign Ethernet ports to
Ethernet-type VLANs.
To assign one or more LAN ports to a VLAN, complete the procedures in the
“Configuring LAN
Interfaces for Layer 2 Switching” section on page 10-6
.
Configuring the Internal VLAN Allocation Policy
For more information about VLAN allocation, see the
“VLAN Ranges” section on page 14-2
.
Note
The internal VLAN allocation policy is applied only following a reload.
To configure the internal VLAN allocation policy, perform this task:
When you configure the internal VLAN allocation policy, note the following information:
•
Enter the
ascending
keyword to allocate internal VLANs from 1006 and up.
•
Enter the
descending
keyword to allocate internal VLAN from 4094 and down.
This example shows how to configure descending as the internal VLAN allocation policy:
Router#
