Keeping CCNA exam in mind i have used static method to assign vlan membership because CCNA certification exam only includes static method to assign VLAN membership. Hence in above output you can clearly see that two VLANs VLAN50 and VLAN60 has been created.Īs we all know VLAN can be assigned statically or dynamically. Verify whether VLAN has been create or not using show vlan command.ġ default active Fa0/1, Fa0/2, Fa0/3, Fa0/4

Then we need to put each port in the proper VLAN.Įnter configuration commands, one per line. Now see below how to create VLAN on SWITCH? VLAN’s provide better performance for medium and large LAN’s.Ī trunk port is a special port that runs ISL or 802.1q so that it can carry traffic from more than one VLAN.Īfter vlan successful configuration devices in same vlan can only communicate with each other. So you dont need to do anything to use switch for your connectivity, you just have to connect your devices with switch ports and you are in network.Ī VLAN is a broadcast domain formed by switches. Note:by default all the devices coonected with a switch are in VLAN 1. Troubleshooting tips related to VLANs.How to assign vlan membership and we also learn how to convert connection link to trunk.But before configuring VLAN,I will love to inform you that you don’t need to configure VLAN untill or unless your network get so large and have so much traffic.I have seen so many people configuring and using VLAN only because the network they are working on was already using them. In the picture above you can see that the Fa0/5 port on SW1 was configured as an access port and assigned to VLAN 2.Here today in this tutorial we will learn how to setup and configure VLAN on cisco switches.We will learn how to create VLANs and Ports.We will also learn how to Remove VLANs and ports. It is also recommended to configure the port as an access (non-trunk) port using the switchport mode access command: You can also optionally use the name VLAN_NAME command from the VLAN submode to name your VLAN:Īfter you’ve created a new VLAN, you can configure a port to belong to that VLAN with the switchport access vlan ID interface submode command. Simply use the vlan ID command from the global configuration mode. It’s really easy to create a VLAN on a Cisco switch. In the picture above you can see that all of the 24 ports on the switch are in the VLAN 1. To verify that indeed all ports on a switch are in the VLAN 1 by default, you can use the show vlan command: VLAN 1 is the native VLAN of all Cisco switches and it can not be changed, deleted, or renamed. By default, all ports on a Cisco switch are assigned to the VLAN 1.
