Editing VLAN Groups
– 587 –
vlan This command configures a VLAN. Use the no form to restore the default settings or
delete a VLAN.
Syntax
vlan vlan-id [name vlan-name] media ethernet
[state {active | suspend}] [rspan]
no vlan vlan-id [name | state]
vlan-id - VLAN ID, specified as a single number, a range of consecutive
numbers separated by a hyphen, or multiple numbers separated by
commas. (Range: 1-4094)
name - Keyword to be followed by the VLAN name.
vlan-name - ASCII string from 1 to 32 characters.
media ethernet - Ethernet media type.
state - Keyword to be followed by the VLAN state.
active - VLAN is operational.
suspend - VLAN is suspended. Suspended VLANs do not pass packets.
rspan - Keyword to create a VLAN used for mirroring traffic from
remote switches. The VLAN used for RSPAN cannot include VLAN 1 (the
switchs default VLAN). Nor should it include VLAN 4093 (which is used
for switch clustering). Configuring VLAN 4093 for other purposes may
cause problems in the Clustering operation. For more information on
configuring RSPAN through the CLI, see “RSPAN Mirroring Commands”
on page 461.
Default Setting
By default only VLAN 1 exists and is active.
Command Mode
VLAN Database Configuration
Command Usage

You can configure up to 4094 VLANs on the switch.

activated by default.
