Token Ring VLANsAlthough the switch does not support Token Ring connections, a remote device such as a Catalyst 5000
series switch with Token Ring connections could be managed from one of the supporte d switche s.
Switches running VTP version 2 advertise information about these Token Ring VLANs:
•Token Ring TrBRF VLANs
•Token Ring TrCRF VLANs
For more information on configuring Token Ring VLANs, refer to the Catalyst 5000 Series Software
Configuration Guide.
Normal-Range VLAN Configuration Guidelines Follow these guidelines when creating and modifying normal-range VLANs in your network :
•Normal-range VLANs are identified with a number between 1 an d 1001 . VL AN nu mber s 10 02
through 1005 are reserved for Token Ring and FDDI VLANs.
•VLAN configuration for VLANs 1 to 1005 are always saved in the VLAN datab ase. If V TP m ode
is transparent, VTP and VLAN configuration is also saved in the switch running configuration file.
•Before you can create a VLAN, the switch must be in VTP server mode or VT P tra nsp aren t mode.
If the switch is a VTP server, you must define a VTP domain or VTP will not function.
•The switch does not support Token Ring or FDDI media. The switch does not forward FDD I,
FDDI-Net, TrCRF, or TrBRF traffic, but it does propagate the VLAN configuration throughVTP.
•The switch supports four spanning-tree instances.
VLAN Configuration Mode OptionsYou can configure normal-range VLANs (those with VLAN IDs 1 to 1005) by using these two
configuration modes:
•VLAN Configuration in config-vlan Mode, page 13-6
You access config-vlan mode by entering the vlan vlan-id global configuration command.
•VLAN Configuration in VLAN Configuration Mode, page 13-6
You access VLAN database configuration mode by entering the vlan database privileged EXEC
command.
