Create / Delete VLANs
VLAN Types
The switch ships with a default VLAN to which all the switch ports initially belong. The switch supports a
maximum of 32 VLANs, including the default VLAN. Using only the default VLAN might be sufficient
based on the size and requirements of your network. We recommend that you first determine your VLAN
needs before you create VLANs.
Note: Cisco Catalyst 500 series switches work in VTP Transparent mode. VLAN creation, modification, or
deletion done on this switch does not affect the other switches in the domain.
This depends on the type of device that is connected to the switch port:
A switch port applied with one of these port roles can belong only to an access VLAN:
Desktop♦
IP Phone+Desktop♦
Printer♦
Server♦
Guest♦
Other♦
The access VLAN provides the attached device with the specific access designed for that VLAN.
•
A switch port applied with one of these port roles can send and receive traffic for all VLANs
configured on the switch, one of which can be identified as a native VLAN:
Switch♦
Router♦
Access Point♦
