Configuring VLANs

How to Configure Extended-Range VLANs

DETAILED STEPS

 

Command or Action

Step 1

show vlan internal usage

Example:

Switch# show vlan internal usage

Purpose

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.

Example:

Switch# configure terminal

Step 3

interface interface-id

Specifies the interface ID for the routed port that is using the VLAN

 

 

ID, and enters interface configuration mode.

 

Example:

 

 

Switch(config)# interface

 

 

gigabitethernet1/0/3

 

Step 4

shutdown

Shuts down the port to free the internal VLAN ID.

Example:

Switch(config-if)# shutdown

Step 5

exit

Returns to global configuration mode.

Example:

Switch(config-if)# exit

Step 6

vtp mode transparent

Example:

Switch(config)# vtp mode transparent

Step 7

vlan vlan-id

Example:

Switch(config-vlan)# vlan 2000

Sets the VTP mode to transparent for creating extended-range VLANs.

Note This step is not required for VTP version 3.

Enters the new extended-range VLAN ID, and enters VLAN configuration mode.
