Deleting 802.1Q-to-ISL VLAN Mappings
To delete an 802.1Q-to-ISL VLAN mapping, perform this task in privileged mode:
This example shows how to delete the VLAN mapping for 802.1Q VLAN 2000:
Console> (enable)
clear vlan mapping dot1q 2000
Vlan 2000 mapping entry deleted
Console> (enable)
This example shows how to delete all 802.1Q-to-ISL VLAN mappings:
Console> (enable)
clear vlan mapping dot1q all
All vlan mapping entries deleted
Console> (enable)
Allocating Internal VLANs
The VLANs are classified as either user VLANs or internal VLANs. A user VLAN can be any VLAN
from 1–4094 created by a user. The internal VLANs are the VLANs that are used by the software features
that require the dedicated VLANs in order to function. The internal VLANs are allocated by the VLAN
Manager as needed using VLANs 1006–4094. The internal VLANs are allocated in ascending order,
starting at VLAN 1006. You should assign the user VLANs as close to VLAN 4094 as possible in order
to avoid conflicts between the user VLANs and the internal VLANs.
Note
Because the number of available VLANs is fixed, make sure that a sufficient number of VLANs remains
available for internal VLAN allocation after you have assigned the user VLANs.
Assigning Switch Ports to a VLAN
A VLAN that is created in a management domain remains unused until you assign one or more switch
ports to the VLAN. You can create a new VLAN and then specify the module and ports later, or you can
create the VLAN and specify the module and ports in a single step.
