Chapter 12 Configuring VLANs
Configuring Extended-Range VLANs
Creating an Extended-Range VLAN
You create an extended-range VLAN in global configuration mode by entering the vlan global
configuration command with a VLAN ID from 1006 to 4094. This command accesses the config-vlan
mode. The extended-range VLAN has the default Ethernet VLAN characteristics (see
configuration command with a VLAN ID from 1006 to 4094. This command accesses the config-vlan
mode. The extended-range VLAN has the default Ethernet VLAN characteristics (see
) and
the MTU size, private VLAN, and RSPAN configuration are the only parameters you can change. See
the description of the vlan global configuration command in the command reference for the default
settings of all parameters. If you enter an extended-range VLAN ID when the switch is not in VTP
transparent mode, an error message is generated when you exit from config-vlan mode, and the
extended-range VLAN is not created.

Extended-range VLANs are not saved in the VLAN database; they are saved in the switch running
configuration file. You can save the extended-range VLAN configuration in the switch startup
configuration file by using the copy running-config startup-config privileged EXEC command.
configuration file. You can save the extended-range VLAN configuration in the switch startup
configuration file by using the copy running-config startup-config privileged EXEC command.
Note
Before you create an extended-range VLAN, you can verify that the VLAN ID is not used internally by
entering the show vlan internal usage privileged EXEC command. If the VLAN ID is used internally
and you want to free it up, go to the

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to create an extended-range VLAN:
To delete an extended-range VLAN, use the no vlan vlan-id global configuration command.
The procedure for assigning static-access ports to an extended-range VLAN is the same as for
normal-range VLANs. See the

Command
Purpose
Step 1
configure terminal
Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2
vtp mode transparent
Configure the switch for VTP transparent mode, disabling VTP.
Step 3
vlan vlan-id
Enter an extended-range VLAN ID and enter config-vlan mode. The
range is 1006 to 4094.
range is 1006 to 4094.
Step 4
mtu mtu-size
(Optional) Modify the VLAN by changing the MTU size.
Note
Although all VLAN commands appear in the CLI help in
config-vlan mode, only the mtu mtu-size, private-vlan, and
remote-span commands are supported for extended-range
VLANs.

Step 5

(Optional) Configure the VLAN as the RSPAN VLAN. See the
Step 6

Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 7
show vlan id vlan-id
Verify that the VLAN has been created.
Step 8
copy running-config startup config
Save your entries in the switch startup configuration file. To save
extended-range VLAN configurations, you need to save the VTP
transparent mode configuration and the extended-range VLAN
configuration in the switch startup configuration file. Otherwise, if the
switch resets, it will default to VTP server mode, and the extended-range
VLAN IDs will not be saved.
