Chapter 13 Configuring VLANs

Displaying VLANs

Displaying VLANs

Use the show vlan privileged EXEC command to display a list of all VLANs on the switch, including extended-range VLANs. The display includes VLAN status, ports, and configuration information. To view normal-range VLANs in the VLAN database (1 to 1005), use the show VLAN database configuration command (accessed by entering the vlan database privileged EXEC command).

Table 13-3lists the commands for monitoring VLANs.

Configuring VLAN Trunks

Trunking Overview

Atrunk is a point-to-point link between one or more Ethernet switch interfaces and another networking device such as a router or a switch. Ethernet trunks carry the traffic of multiple VLANs over a single link, and you can extend the VLANs across an entire network.

Two trunking encapsulations are available on all Ethernet interfaces:

Inter-Switch Link (ISL)—Cisco-proprietary trunking encapsulation.

IEEE 802.1Q— industry-standard trunking encapsulation.
