Chapter 13 Configuring VLANs
Configuring Extended-Range VLANs
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to create an extended-range VLAN:
To delete an extended-range VLAN, use the
no vlan
vlan-id
global configuration command.
The procedure for assigning static-access ports to an extended-range VLAN is the same as for
normal-range VLANs. See the
“Assigning Static-Access Ports to a VLAN” section on page 13-10
This example shows how to create a new extended-range VLAN with all default characteristics, enter
VLAN configuration mode, and save the new VLAN in the switch startup configuration file:
Switch(config)#
vtp mode transparent
Switch(config)#
vlan 2000
Switch(config-vlan)#
end
Switch#
copy running-config startup config
Creating an Extended-Range VLAN with an Internal VLAN ID
If you enter an extended-range VLAN ID that is already assigned to an internal VLAN, an error message
is generated, and the extended-range VLAN is rejected. To manually free an internal VLAN ID, you
must temporarily shut down the routed port that is using the internal VLAN ID.
Command
Purpose
Step 1
configure terminal
Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2
vtp mode transparent
Configure the switch for VTP transparent mode, disabling VTP.
Note
This step is not required for VTP version 3.
Step 3
vlan
vlan-id
Enter an extended-range VLAN ID and enter VLAN configuration mode.
The range is 1006 to 4094.
Step 4
mtu
mtu-size
(Optional) Modify the VLAN by changing the MTU size.
Note
Although all VLAN commands appear in the CLI help, only the
mtu
mtu-size
,
private-vlan
, and
remote-span
commands are
supported for extended-range VLANs.
Step 5
remote-span
(Optional) Configure the VLAN as the RSPAN VLAN. See the
“Configuring a VLAN as an RSPAN VLAN” section on page 30-18
.
Step 6
end
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 7
show vlan
id
vlan-id
Verify that the VLAN has been created.
Step 8
copy running-config startup config
Save your entries in the switch startup configuration file. To save
extended-range VLAN configurations, you need to save the VTP
transparent mode configuration and the extended-range VLAN
configuration in the switch startup configuration file. Otherwise, if the
switch resets, it will default to VTP server mode, and the extended-range
VLAN IDs will not be saved.
