VLAN Commands

A VLAN is a group of ports that can be located anywhere in the network, but communicate as though they

belong to the same physical segment. This section describes commands used to create VLAN groups, add port

members, specify how VLAN tagging is used, and enable automatic VLAN registration for the selected

interface.

Editing VLAN Groups

Command Function
vlan database
This command enters
VLAN database mode.
All commands in this
mode will take effect
immediately.
Default Setting: None
Command Mode: Global Configuration
Command Usage: Use the VLAN database command mode to add, change, and
delete VLANs. After finishing configuration changes, you can display the VLAN set-
tings by entering the show vlan command.
Use the interface vlan command mode to define the port membership mode and add
or remove ports from a VLAN. The results of these commands are written to the run-
ning-configuration file, and you can display this file by entering the show running-con-
fig command.
Example:
Console(config)#vlan database
Console(config-vlan)#
vlan
This command
configures a VLAN.
Use the no form to
restore the default set-
tings or delete a VLAN.
Syntax:
vlan vlan-id [name vlan-name] media ethernet [state {active | suspend}]
no vlan vlan-id [name | state]
• vlan-id - ID of configured VLAN. (Range: 1-4094, no leading zeroes)
• name - Keyword to be followed by the VLAN name.
• vlan-name - ASCII string from 1 to 32 characters.
• media ethernet - Ethernet media type.
• state - Keyword to be followed by the VLAN state.
• active - VLAN is operational.
• suspend - VLAN is suspended. Suspended VLANs do not pass packets.
Default Setting: By default only VLAN 1 exists and is active.
Command Mode: VLAN Database Configuration
Command Usage:
• no vlan vlan-id deletes the VLAN.
• no vlan vlan-id name removes the VLAN name.
• no vlan vlan-id state returns the VLAN to the default state (i.e., active).
• You can configure up to 255 VLANs on the switch.
Example: The following example adds a VLAN, using VLAN ID 105 and name RD5.
The VLAN is activated by default:
Console(config)#vlan database
Console(config-vlan)#vlan 105 name RD5 media ethernet
Console(config-vlan)#
