Chapter13 Configuring VLANs
Configuring Extended-Range VLANs
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to create an extended-range VLAN:
To delete an extended-range VLAN, use the no vlan vlan-id global 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 page13-10.
This example shows how to create a new extended-range VLAN with all default characteristics, enter
VLAN configuration mode, and save the new VLAN in the switch startup configuration file:
Switch(config)# vtp mode transparent
Switch(config)# vlan 2000
Switch(config-vlan)# end
Switch# copy running-config startup config
Creating an Extended-Range VLAN with an Internal VLAN ID
If you enter an extended-range VLAN ID that is already assigned to an internal VLAN, an error message
is generated, and the extended-range VLAN is rejected. To manually free an internal VLAN ID, you
must temporarily shut down the routed port that is using the internal VLAN ID.
Command Purpose
Step1 configure terminal Enter global configuration mode.
Step2 vtp mode transparent Configure the switch for VTP transparent mode, disabling VTP.
Note This step is not required for VTP version 3.
Step3 vlan vlan-id Enter an extended-range VLAN ID and enter VLAN configuration mode.
The range is 1006 to 4094.
Step4 mtu mtu-size (Optional) Modify the VLAN by changing the MTU size.
Note Although all VLAN commands appear in the CLI help, only the
mtu mtu-size, private-vlan, and remote-span commands are
supported for extended-range VLANs.
Step5 remote-span (Optional) Configure the VLAN as the RSPAN VLAN. See the
“Configuring a VLAN as an RSPAN VLAN” section on page29-18.
Step6 end Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step7 show vlan id vlan-id Verify that the VLAN has been created.
Step8 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.
Note With VTP version 3, the VLAN configuration is also saved in the
VLAN database.
