Chapter 13 Configuring VLANs
Understanding VLANs
Note
Up to 64 VLANs are supported when the switch is running the LAN Lite image.
Although the switch stack supports a total of 255 (normal range and extended range) VLANs, the number
of configured features affects the use of the switch hardware.

The switch supports per-VLAN spanning-tree plus (PVST+) or rapid PVST+ with a maximum of 128
spanning-tree instances. One spanning-tree instance is allowed per VLAN. See the
spanning-tree instances. One spanning-tree instance is allowed per VLAN. See the
for more information about the number of
spanning-tree instances and the number of VLANs. The switch supports only IEEE 802.1Q trunking
methods for sending VLAN traffic over Ethernet ports.

VLAN Port Membership Modes
You configure a port to belong to a VLAN by assigning a membership mode that specifies the kind of
traffic the port carries and the number of VLANs to which it can belong.

to globally propagate information, set the
VTP mode to transparent. To participate in
VTP, there must be at least one trunk port on
the switch stack connected to a trunk port of
a second switch or switch stack.

Trunk (IEEE 802.1Q)
A trunk port is a member of all VLANs by default,
including extended-range VLANs, but membership
can be limited by configuring the allowed-VLAN list.
You can also modify the pruning-eligible list to block
flooded traffic to VLANs on trunk ports that are
included in the list.

VTP is recommended but not required. VTP
maintains VLAN configuration consistency
by managing the addition, deletion, and
renaming of VLANs on a network-wide
basis. VTP exchanges VLAN configuration
messages with other switches over trunk
links.
