Configuring Normal-Range VLANs

Table 1-1 Port Membership Modes and Characteristics (continued)
Membership Mode VLAN Membership Characteristics
Voice VLAN A voice VLAN port is an access port attached to a Cisco IP
Phone, configured to use one VLAN for voice traffic and
another VLAN for data traffic from a device attached to the
phone.
For more information about voice VLAN ports, see
Chapter 1, "Configuring Voice VLAN."
For more detailed definitions of access and trunk modes and their functions, see
When a port belongs to a VLAN, the switch learns and manages the addresses associated with the port
on a per-VLAN basis. For more information, see the
page
Configuring Normal-Range VLANs
Normal-range VLANs are VLANs with VLAN IDs 1 to 1005. If the switch is in VTP server or
VTP transparent mode, you can add, modify or remove configurations for VLANs 2 to 1001 in the
VLAN database. (VLAN IDs 1 and 1002 to 1005 are automatically created and cannot be removed.)
In VTP versions 1 and 2, the switch must be in VTP transparent mode when you create extended-range
VLANs (VLANs with IDs from 1006 to 4094), but these VLANs are not saved in the VLAN database.
VTP version 3 supports extended-range VLANs in VTP server and transparent mode. See the
"Configuring Extended-Range VLANs" section on page
Configurations for VLAN IDs 1 to 1005 are written to the file vlan.dat (VLAN database), and you can
display them by entering the show vlan privileged EXEC command. The vlan.dat file is stored in flash
memory. On a Catalyst 3750-X switch, thevlan.dat file is stored in flash memory on the stack master.
Stack members have a vlan.dat file that is consistent with the stack master.
You can cause inconsistency in the VLAN database if you attempt to manually delete the vlan.dat file.
Caution
If you want to modify the VLAN configuration, use the commands described in these sections and in the
command reference for this release. To change the VTP configuration, see
VTP."
You use the interface configuration mode to define the port membership mode and to add and remove
ports from VLANs. The results of these commands are written to the running-configuration file, and you
can display the file by entering the show running-config privileged EXEC command.
You can set these parameters when you create a new normal-range VLAN or modify an existing VLAN
in the VLAN database:
