Configuring Extended-Range VLANs

Creating an Extended-Range VLAN

You create an extended-range VLAN in global configuration mode by entering the vlan global configuration command with a VLAN ID from 1006 to 4094. This command accesses the config-vlan mode. The extended-range VLAN has the default Ethernet VLAN characteristics (see Table 13-2) and the MTU size, private VLAN, and RSPAN configuration are the only parameters you can change. See the description of the vlan global configuration command in the command reference for the default settings of all parameters. If you enter an extended-range VLAN ID when the switch is not in VTP transparent mode, an error message is generated when you exit from config-vlan mode, and the extended-range VLAN is not created.

Extended-range VLANs are not saved in the VLAN database; they are saved in the switch running configuration file. You can save the extended-range VLAN configuration in the switch startup configuration file by using the copy running-configstartup-configprivileged EXEC command.

Note Before you create an extended-range VLAN, you can verify that the VLAN ID is not used internally by entering the show vlan internal usage privileged EXEC command. If the VLAN ID is used internally and you want to free it up, go to the“Creating an Extended-Range VLAN with an Internal VLAN ID” section on page 13-15before creating the extended-range VLAN.

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to create an extended-range VLAN:

	Command	Purpose
Step 1
	configure terminal	Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2
	vtp mode transparent	Configure the switch for VTP transparent mode, disabling VTP.
Step 3
	vlan vlan-id	Enter an extended-range VLAN ID and enter config-vlan mode. The
		range is 1006 to 4094.
Step 4
	mtu mtu-size	(Optional) Modify the VLAN by changing the MTU size.
		Note Although all VLAN commands appear in the CLI help in
		config-vlan mode, only the mtu mtu-size, private-vlan, and
		remote-spancommands are supported for extended-range
		VLANs.
Step 5
	remote-span	(Optional) Configure the VLAN as the RSPAN VLAN. See the
		“Configuring a VLAN as an RSPAN VLAN” section on page 30-17.
Step 6
	end	Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 7
	show vlan id vlan-id	Verify that the VLAN has been created.
Step 8
	copy running-config startup config	Save your entries in the switch startup configuration file. To save
		extended-range VLAN configurations, you need to save the VTP
		transparent mode configuration and the extended-range VLAN
		configuration in the switch startup configuration file. Otherwise, if the
		switch resets, it will default to VTP server mode, and the extended-range
		VLAN IDs will not be saved.

To delete an extended-range VLAN, use the no vlan vlan-idglobal configuration command.

The procedure for assigning static-access ports to an extended-range VLAN is the same as for normal-range VLANs. See the “Assigning Static-Access Ports to a VLAN” section on page 13-11.
