Token Ring VLANs
Although the switch does not support Token Ring connections, a remote device such as a Catalyst 5000
series switch with Token Ring connections could be managed from one of the supported switches.
Switches running VTP Version 2 advertise information about these Token Ring VLANs:

Token Ring TrBRF VLANs
Token Ring TrCRF VLANs
Switches running the IP base or IP services feature set support 1005 VLANs in VTP client, server,
and transparent modes. Switches running the LAN base feature set support 255 VLANs.
Normal-range VLANs are identified with a number between 1 and 1001. VLAN numbers 1002
through 1005 are reserved for Token Ring and FDDI VLANs.
VLAN configuration for VLANs 1 to 1005 are always saved in the VLAN database. If the VTP mode
is transparent, VTP and VLAN configuration are also saved in the switch running configuration file.
