Chapter 12 Configuring VLANs
Configuring Normal-Range VLANs
Deleting a VLAN
When you delete a VLAN from a switch that is in VTP server mode, the VLAN is removed from the
VLAN database for all switches in the VTP domain. When you delete a VLAN from a switch that is in
VTP transparent mode, the VLAN is deleted only on that specific switch.
You cannot delete the default VLANs for the different media types: Ethernet VLAN 1 and FDDI or
Token Ring VLANs 1002 to 1005.
Caution When you delete a VLAN, any ports assigned to that VLAN become inactive. They remain associated
with the VLAN (and thus inactive) until you assign them to a new VLAN.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to delete a VLAN on the switch by using global
configuration mode:
To delete a VLAN in VLAN database configuration mode, use the vlan database privileged EXEC
command to enter VLAN database configuration mode and the no vlan vlan-id VLAN configuration
command.
Assigning Static-Access Ports to a VLAN
You can assign a static-access port to a VLAN without having VTP globally propagate VLAN
configuration information by disabling VTP (VTP transparent mode).
Note If you assign an interface to a VLAN that does not exist, the new VLAN is created. (See the “Creating
or Modifying an Ethernet VLAN” section on page 12-8.)
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to assign a port to a VLAN in the VLAN
database:
Command Purpose
Step 1
configure terminal Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2
no vlan vlan-id Remove the VLAN by entering the VLAN ID.
Step 3
end Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 4
show vlan brief Verify the VLAN removal.
Step 5
copy running-config startup config (Optional) If the switch is in VTP transparent mode, the VLAN
configuration is saved in the running configuration file as well as in
the VLAN database. This saves the configuration in the switch startup
configuration file.
Command Purpose
Step 1
configure terminal Enter global configuration mode
Step 2
interface interface-id Enter the interface to be added to the VLAN.
Step 3
switchport mode access Define the VLAN membership mode for the port (Layer 2 access
port).
