Chapter12 Configuring VLANs
Configuring Normal-Range VLANs
You can also create or modify Ethernet VLANs by using the VLAN database configuration mode.
Note VLAN database configuration mode does not support RSPAN VLAN configuration or extended-range
VLANs.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to use VLAN database configura tion m ode to
create or modify an Ethernet VLAN:
To return the VLAN name to the default settings, use the no vlan vlan-id name or no vlan vlan-id mtu
VLAN database configuration command.
This example shows how to use VLAN configuration mode to create Ethernet VLAN 20, name it tes t20,
and add it to the VLAN database:
Switch# vlan database
Switch(vlan)# vlan 20 name test20
Switch(vlan)# exit
APPLY completed.
Exiting....
Deleting a VLAN
When you delete a VLAN from a switch that is in VTP server mode, the VLAN is removed from the
VLAN database for all switches in the VTP domain. When you delete a VLAN from a switch that is in
VTP transparent mode, the VLAN is deleted only on that specific switch or a switch stack.
You cannot delete the default VLANs for the different media types: Ethernet VLAN 1 and FDDI or
Token Ring VLANs 1002 to 1005.
Command Purpose
Step1 vlan database Enter VLAN database configuration mode.
Step2 vlan vlan-id name vlan-name Add an Ethernet VLAN by assigning a number to it. The range is 1 to
1001. You can create or modify a range of consecutive VLANs by
entering vlan first-vlan-id end last-vlan-id.
Note When entering a VLAN ID in VLAN database configuration
mode, do not enter leading zeros.
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.
Step3 vlan vlan-id mtu mtu-size (Optional) To modify a VLAN, identify the VLAN and change a
characteristic, such as the MTU size.
Step4 exit Update the VLAN database, propagate it throughout the administrative
domain, and return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step5 show vlan {name vlan-name | id vlan-id} Verify your entries.
Step6 copy running-config startup config (Optional) If the switch is in VTP transparent mode, the VLAN
configuration is saved in the running configuration file as wel l as in th e
VLAN database. This saves the configuration in the switch startup
configuration file.
