Chapter 12 Configuring VLANs
Configuring Normal-Range VLANs
Creating or Modifying an Ethernet VLAN
Each Ethernet VLAN in the VLAN database has a unique, 4-digit ID that can be a number from 1
to 1001. VLAN IDs 1002 to 1005 are reserved for Token Ring and FDDI VLANs. To create a
normal-range VLAN to be added to the VLAN database, assign a number and name to the VLAN.
Note
When the switch is in VTP transparent mode, you can assign VLAN IDs greater than 1006, but they are
not added to the VLAN database. See the
“Configuring Extended-Range VLANs” section on
.
For the list of default parameters that are assigned when you add a VLAN, see the
Normal-Range VLANs” section on page 12-4
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to use config-vlan mode to create or modify an
Ethernet VLAN:
