Creating and Deleting VLANs
The following subsections describe how to create and delete a VLAN with the vlan command.
Note. This chapter provides only a basic description of creating and deleting VLANs. For a complete description of configuring and monitoring VLANs on a switch, please refer to Chapter 5, “Configuring VLANs.”
Creating a VLAN
To create a new VLAN use the vlan command by entering vlan followed by the VLAN ID number, which can be any integer from 2 to 4094. (Default VLAN 1 is part of the standard switch configuration and does not need to be created.) For example, to create a VLAN with a VLAN ID number of 10 enter
You can also specify the administrative status and a name for the VLAN with the vlan command. For example, to administratively enable (the default) a VLAN when you configure it enter vlan followed by the VLAN ID number and enable.
For example, to create vlan 10 and administratively enable it enter
To administratively disable a VLAN when you configure it enter vlan followed by the VLAN ID number and disable.
For example, to create vlan VLAN 10 and administratively disable it enter
To assign a name to a VLAN when you configure it enter vlan followed by the VLAN ID number, name, and a text description, which can be up to 32 characters long.
Note. If a text description has spaces the name must be enclosed within quotes (e.g., “VLAN 10”)
For example, to create VLAN 10 and name it “VLAN10” enter
Note. You can use the name keyword with the enable and disable keywords (e.g., vlan 10 enable name VLAN10).
