Chapter 17 Configuring VLANs
VLANs
Ethernet VLANs
Each Ethernet VLAN in the VLAN database has a unique, 4-digit ID that can be a number from 1 to
1001. VLAN IDs 1002 to 1005 are reserved for Token Ring and FDDI VLANs. To create a normal-rang e
VLAN to be added to the VLAN database, assign a number and name to the VLAN.
Note With VTP version 1 and 2, if the switch is in VTP transparent mode, you can assign VLAN IDs greater
than 1006, but they are not added to the VLAN database. See the “Creating an Extended-Range VLAN”
section on page 17-18.
For the list of default parameters that are assigned when you add a VLAN, see the “Normal-Range
VLANs” section on page 17-4.
VLAN Removal
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.
You cannot delete the default VLANs for the different media types: Ethernet VLAN 1 and FDDI or
Token Ring VLANs 1002 to 1005.
Caution When you delete a VLAN, any ports assigned to that VLAN become inactive. They remain associated
with the VLAN (and thus inactive) until you assign them to a new VLAN.
Static-Access Ports for a VLAN
You can assign a static-access port to a VLAN without having VTP globally propagate VLAN
configuration information by disabling VTP (VTP transparent mode).
