Configuring VLANs on the Switch
Normal-Range VLAN Configuration Guidelines
This section describes the guidelines for creating and modifying the user VLANs in your network:
• The default VLAN type is Ethernet; if you do not specify a VLAN type, the VLAN will be an
Ethernet VLAN.
• If you wish to use VTP to maintain global VLAN configuration information on your network,
configure VTP before you create any normal-range VLANs. See Chapter 10, “Configuring VTP” for
configuring VTP. (You cannot use VTP to manage extended-range VLANs 1025–4094.)
Note With VTP version 3, you can manage VLANs 1006–4094. These VLANs are propagated
with VTP version 3.
• The FlexWAN modules and routed ports automatically allocate a number of VLANs for their own
use, starting at VLAN 1025. If you use these devices, you must allow for the number of VLANs
required.
Creating Normal-Range VLANs
You can create one VLAN at a time or you can create a range of VLANs with a single command. If you
create a range of VLANs, you cannot specify a name; the VLAN names must be unique.
To create a normal-range VLAN, perform this task in privileged mode:
This example shows how to create the normal-range VLANs and verify the configuration when the
switch is in Per VLAN Spanning Tree + (PVST+) mode:
Console> (enable) set vlan 500-520
Vlan 500 configuration successful
Vlan 501 configuration successful
Vlan 502 configuration successful
Vlan 503 configuration successful
Vlan 520 configuration successful
Console> (enable) show vlan 500-520
VLAN Name Status IfIndex Mod/Ports, Vlans
---- -------------------------------- --------- ------- ------------------------
500 active 342
501 active 343
502 active 344
503 active 345
520 active 362
Task Command
Step 1
Create a normal-range Ethernet VLAN. set vlan vlan [name name] [said said] [mtu mtu]
[translation vlan]
Step 2
Verify the VLAN configuration. show vlan [vlan]
