Configuring VLANs
VLAN Configuration Mode Options
You can configure normal-range VLANs (with VLAN IDs 1 to 1005) by using these two configuration
modes:
•
•
VLAN Configuration in config-vlan Mode
To access config-vlan mode, enter the vlan global configuration command with a VLAN ID. Enter a new
VLAN ID to create a VLAN, or enter an existing VLAN ID to modify that VLAN. You can use the
default VLAN configuration
information about commands available in this mode, see the vlan global configuration command
description in the command reference for this release. When you have finished the configuration, you
must exit config-vlan mode for the configuration to take effect. To display the VLAN configuration,
enter the show vlan privileged EXEC command.
You must use this config-vlan mode when creating extended-range VLANs (VLAN IDs greater than
1005). See the
VLAN Configuration in VLAN Database Configuration Mode
To access VLAN database configuration mode, enter the vlan database privileged EXEC command.
Then enter the vlan command with a new VLAN ID to create a VLAN, or enter an existing VLAN ID
to modify the VLAN. You can use the default VLAN configuration
commands to configure the VLAN. For more information about keywords available in this mode, see the
vlan VLAN database configuration command description in the command reference for this release.
When you have finished the configuration, you must enter apply or exit for the configuration to take
effect. When you enter the exit command, it applies all commands and updates the VLAN database. VTP
messages are sent to other switches in the VTP domain, and the privileged EXEC mode prompt appears.
Saving VLAN Configuration
The configurations of VLAN IDs 1 to 1005 are always saved in the VLAN database (vlan.dat file). If the
VTP mode is transparent, they are also saved in the switch running configuration file. You can enter the
copy running-config startup-config privileged EXEC command to save the configuration in the startup
configuration file. To display the VLAN configuration, enter the show vlan privileged EXEC command.
