Configuring VLANs

How to Configure Extended-Range VLANs

Command or Action

Purpose

 

startup-config

switch resets, it will default to VTP server mode, and the extended-range

 

VLAN IDs will not be saved.

 

Note

This step is not required for VTP version 3 because VLANs

 

 

are saved in the VLAN database.

The procedure for assigning static-access ports to an extended-range VLAN is the same as for normal-range VLANs.

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.
