Chapter17 Configuring VLANs
Configuring Normal-Range VLANs
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.
Note When the switch is in VTP transparent mode and the EI is installed, you can assign VLAN IDs greater
than 1006, but they are not added to the VLAN database. See the Configuring Extended-Range
VLANs section on page 17-12.
For the list of default parameters that are assigned when you add a VLAN, see the Configuring
Normal-Range VLANs section on page17-4.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to use config-vlan mode to create or modify an
Ethernet VLAN:
Table17-2 Ethernet VLAN Defaults and Ranges
Parameter Default Range
VLAN ID 1 1 to 4094when the EI is installed and 1 to
1005 when the SI is installed.
Note Extended-range VLANs (VLAN
IDs 1006 to 4094) are not saved in
the VLAN database.
VLAN name VLANxxxx, where xxxx
represents four numeric digits
(including leading zeros) equal
to the VLAN ID number

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 1005
when the SI is installed and 1 to 4094 when the EI is
installed.For information about adding VLAN IDs greater than
1005 (extended-range VLANs), see the Configuring
Extended-Range VLANs section on page 17-12.
