User's Manual

When you delete a VLAN, ports associated to that VLAN shut down. The traffic does not flow and the
packets are dropped.
Note
Procedure
PurposeCommand or Action
Enters configuration mode.switch# configure terminal
Step 1
Creates a VLAN or a range of VLANs.switch(config)# vlan
{vlan-id | vlan-range}
Step 2
If you enter a number that is already assigned to a VLAN, the switch
puts you into the VLAN configuration submode for that VLAN. If
you enter a number that is assigned to an internally allocated VLAN,
the system returns an error message. However, if you enter a range
of VLANs and one or more of the specified VLANs is outside the
range of internally allocated VLANs, the command takes effect on
only those VLANs outside the range. The range is from 2 to 4094;
VLAN1 is the default VLAN and cannot be created or deleted. You
cannot create or delete those VLANs that are reserved for internal
use.
Deletes the specified VLAN or range of VLANs and removes you
from the VLAN configuration submode. You cannot delete VLAN1
or the internally allocated VLANs.
switch(config-vlan)# no
vlan {vlan-id | vlan-range}
Step 3
This example shows how to create a range of VLANs from 15 to 20:
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# vlan 15-20
You can also create and delete VLANs in the VLAN configuration submode.Note
Configuring a VLAN
To configure or modify the VLAN for the following parameters, you must be in the VLAN configuration
submode:
•
Name
•
Shut down
You cannot create, delete, or modify the default VLAN or the internally allocated VLANs. Additionally,
some of these parameters cannot be modified on some VLANs.
