How to Configure VLANs
Creating an Extended-Range VLANCreating an Extended-Range VLAN with an Internal VLAN ID
Command Purpose
Step 1 configure terminal Enters global configuration mode.
Step 2 vtp mode transparent Configures the switch for VTP transparent mode and disables VTP.
Note This step is not required for VTP version 3.
Step 3 vlan vlan-id Enters an extended-range VLAN ID and enters VLAN configuration
mode. The range is 1006 to 4096.
Step 4 mtu mtu-size (Optional) Modifies the VLAN by changing the MTU size.
Note Although all VLAN commands appear in the CLI h elp, only the
mtu mtu-size, private-vlan, and remote-span commands are
supported for extended-range VLANs.
Step 5 remote-span (Optional) Configures the VLAN as the RSPAN VLAN. See the
“Configuring a VLAN as an RSPAN VLAN” section on page 30-14.
Step 6 end Returns to privileged EXEC mode.
Command Purpose
Step 1 show vlan internal usage Displays the VLAN IDs being used internally by the switch. If the VLAN
ID that you want to use is an internal VLAN, the display shows the routed
port that is using the VLAN ID. Enter that port number in Step 3.
Step 2 configure terminal Enters global configuration mode.
Step 3 interface interface-id Specifies the interface ID for the routed port that is using the VLAN ID,
and enters interface configuration mode.
Step 4 shutdown Shuts down the port to free the internal VLAN ID.
Step 5 exit Returns to global configuration mode.
Step 6 vtp mode transparent Sets the VTP mode to transparent for creating extended-range VLANs.
Note This step is not required for VTP version 3.
Step 7 vlan vlan-id Enters the new extended-range VLAN ID, and enters VLAN
configuration mode.
Step 8 exit Exits from VLAN configuration mode, and returns to global
configuration mode.
Step 9 interface interface-id Specifies the interface ID for the routed port that you shut down in Step
4, and enters interface configuration mode.
Step 10 no shutdown Reenables the routed port. It will be assigned a new internal VLAN ID.
Step 11 end Returns to privileged EXEC mode.
