Chapter13 Configuring VLANs Configuring Normal-Range VLANs
Default Ethernet VLAN Configuration
Table13-2 shows the default configuration for Ethernet VLANs.
Note The switch supports Ethernet interfaces exclusively. Because FDDI and Token Ring VLANs are not
locally supported, you only configure FDDI and Token Ring media-specific characteristics for VTP
global advertisements to other switches.
Creating or Modifying an Ethernet VLAN
Each Ethernet VLAN in the VLAN database has a unique, 4- digit I D t hat ca n b e a nu mber fr om 1
to 1 001. VLA N IDs 1002 to 1005 are reserved fo r 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.
For the list of default parameters that are assigned when you add a VLAN, see the “Configuring
Normal-Range VLANs” section on page 13-4.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to use config-vlan mode to create or modify an
Ethernet VLAN:
Table13-2 Ethernet VLAN Defaults and Ranges
Parameter Default Range
VLAN ID 1 1 to 1005.
VLAN name VLANxxxx, where xxxx
represents four numeric digits
(including leading zeros) equal
to the VLAN ID number
No range
802.10 SAID 100001 (100000 plus the
VLAN ID) 1–4294967294
MTU size 1500 1500–18190
Translational bridge 1 0 0–1005
Translational bridge 2 0 0–1005
VLAN state active active, suspend
Remote SPAN disabled enabled, disabled
Command Purpose
Step1 configure terminal Enter global configuration mode.
Step2 vlan vlan-id Enter a VLAN ID, and enter config-vlan mode. Enter a new VLAN ID
to create a VLAN, or enter an existing VLAN ID to modify a VLAN.
Note The available VLAN ID range for this command is 1 to 1 005 .
Step3 name vlan-name (Optional) Enter a name for the VLAN. If no name is entered for the
VLAN, the default is to append the vlan-id with leading zeros to the
word VLAN. For example, VLAN0004 is a default VLAN name for
VLAN 4.
