Configuring VLANs
Command
Step 3
name vlan-name
Step 4
mtu mtu-size
Step 5
remote-span
Step 6
end
Step 7
show vlan {name vlan-name | id vlan-id} Verify your entries.
Step 8
copy running-config startup config
To return the VLAN name to the default settings, use the no vlan name, no vlan mtu, or no remote
span config-vlan commands.
This example shows how to use config-vlan mode to create Ethernet VLAN 20, name it test20, and add
it to the VLAN database:
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# vlan 20
Switch(config-vlan)# name test20
Switch(config-vlan)# end
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to use VLAN configuration mode to create or
modify an Ethernet VLAN:
Command
Step 1
vlan database
Step 2
vlan vlan-id name vlan-name
Step 3
vlan vlan-id mtu mtu-size
Step 4
exit
Step 5
show vlan {name vlan-name | id vlan-id} Verify your entries.
Step 6
copy running-config startup config
78-11380-12
Purpose
(Optional) Enter a name for the VLAN. If no name is entered, the default
is to append the vlan-id with leading zeros to the word VLAN. For
example, VLAN0004 is a default VLAN name for VLAN 4.
(Optional) Change the MTU size (or other VLAN characteristic).
(Optional) Configure the VLAN as the RSPAN VLAN for a remote
SPAN session. For more information on remote SPAN, see
"Configuring SPAN and RSPAN."
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
(Optional) If the switch is in VTP transparent mode, the VLAN
configuration is saved in the running configuration file as well as in the
VLAN database. This saves the configuration in the switch startup
configuration file.
Purpose
Enter VLAN database configuration mode.
Add an Ethernet VLAN by assigning a number to it. The range is 1 to
1001; do not enter leading zeros.
If no name is entered, the default is to append the vlan-id with leading
zeros to the word VLAN. For example, VLAN0004 is a default VLAN
name for VLAN 4.
(Optional) To modify a VLAN, identify the VLAN and change a
characteristic, such as the MTU size.
Update the VLAN database, propagate it throughout the administrative
domain, and return to privileged EXEC mode.
(Optional) If the switch is in VTP transparent mode, the VLAN
configuration is saved in the running configuration file as well as in the
VLAN database. This saves the configuration in the switch startup
configuration file.
