Configuring VLAN Trunks
VLAN 1 is the default VLAN on all trunk ports in all Cisco switches, and it has previously been a
Note
requirement that VLAN 1 always be enabled on every trunk link. You can use the VLAN 1 minimization
feature to disable VLAN 1 on any individual VLAN trunk link so that no user traffic (including
spanning-tree advertisements) is sent or received on VLAN 1.
To reduce the risk of spanning-tree loops or storms, you can disable VLAN 1 on any individual VLAN
trunk port by removing VLAN 1 from the allowed list. When you remove VLAN 1 from a trunk port,
the interface continues to sent and receive management traffic, for example, Cisco Discovery Protocol
(CDP), Port Aggregation Protocol (PAgP), Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP), DTP, and VTP
in VLAN 1.
If a trunk port with VLAN 1 disabled is converted to a nontrunk port, it is added to the access VLAN. If
the access VLAN is set to 1, the port will be added to VLAN 1, regardless of the switchport trunk
allowed setting. The same is true for any VLAN that has been disabled on the port.
A trunk port can become a member of a VLAN if the VLAN is enabled, if VTP knows of the VLAN,
and if the VLAN is in the allowed list for the port. When VTP detects a newly enabled VLAN and the
VLAN is in the allowed list for a trunk port, the trunk port automatically becomes a member of the
enabled VLAN. When VTP detects a new VLAN and the VLAN is not in the allowed list for a trunk
port, the trunk port does not become a member of the new VLAN.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to modify the allowed list of a trunk:
Command
Step 1
configure terminal
Step 2
interface interface-id
Step 3
switchport mode trunk
Step 4
switchport trunk allowed vlan {add |
all | except | remove} vlan-list
Step 5
end
Step 6
show interfaces interface-id switchport Verify your entries in the Trunking VLANs Enabled field of the display.
Step 7
copy running-config startup-config
To return to the default allowed VLAN list of all VLANs, use the no switchport trunk allowed vlan
interface configuration command.
This example shows how to remove VLAN 2 from the allowed VLAN list on a port:
Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet0/1
Switch(config-if)# switchport trunk allowed vlan remove 2
Switch(config-if)# end

Purpose
Enter global configuration mode.
Specify the port to be configured, and enter interface configuration
mode.
Configure the interface as a VLAN trunk port.
(Optional) Configure the list of VLANs allowed on the trunk.
For explanations about using the add, all, except, and remove keywords,
see the command reference for this release.
The vlan-list parameter is either a single VLAN number from 1 to 4094
or a range of VLANs described by two VLAN numbers, the lower one
first, separated by a hyphen. Do not enter any spaces between
comma-separated VLAN parameters or in hyphen-specified ranges.
All VLANs are allowed by default.
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
