shows the default VLAN configuration.
A maximum of 1000 VLANs can be active at any time.
Before you can create a VLAN, the switch must be in VTP server mode or VTP transparent mode.
If the switch is a VTP server, you must define a VTP domain. For information on configuring VTP,
refer to
Chapter 9, "Configuring VTP."
The VLAN numbers are always ISL VLAN identifiers and not 802.1Q VLAN identifiers.
