How to Configure Normal-Range VLANs

Youcan set these parameters when you create a new normal-range VLAN or modify an existing VLAN in
theVLAN database:
VLANID
VLANname
VLANtype
Ethernet
FiberDistributed Data Interface [FDDI]
FDDInetwork entitytitle [NET]
TrBRFor TrCRF
TokenRing
TokenRing-Net
VLANstate (active or suspended)
Maximumtransmission unit (MTU) for the VLAN
SecurityAssociation Identifier (SAID)
Bridgeidentification number forTrBRF VLANs
Ringnumber for FDDI and TrCRFVLANs
ParentVLAN number for TrCRFVLANs
SpanningTree Protocol (STP) type for TrCRF VLANs
VLANnumber to use when translating from one VLAN type to another
Youcan cause inconsistency in the VLAN database if you attempt to manually delete the vlan.dat file. If you
wantto modify the VLAN configuration, follow the procedures in this section.

Creating or Modifying an Ethernet VLAN

EachEthernet VLAN in the VLAN database has a unique, 4-digit ID that can be a number from 1 to 1001.
VLANIDs 1002 to 1005 are reserved for Token Ring and FDDI VLANs. To create a normal-range VLAN
tobe added to the VLAN database, assign a number and name to the VLAN.
WithVTP version 1 and 2, if the switch is in VTP transparent mode, you can assign VLAN IDs greater
than1006, but they are not added to the VLAN database.
