VLAN and VTP Management
(Switch > VLANs)
CVDM-C6500 provides comprehensive Virtual LAN (VLAN) configuration, VLAN port assignment, and VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP) domain management.
VLANs are groups of devices on one or more LANs that are configured to communicate as if they were attached to the same wire, when in fact they are located on a number of different LAN segments.
VTP is a Layer 2 messaging protocol that manages the addition, deletion, and renaming of VLANs on a network-wide basis. When you configure a new VLAN on one VTP server, the VLAN is distributed through all switches in the domain, which reduces the need to configure the same VLAN everywhere.
For more information about configuring VLANs, see the relevant section in the Catalyst 6500 Family IOS Software Configuration Guide.
The following topics contain information about:
•
Configuring VLANs
•Configuring Layer 2 VLANs
•Configuring Layer 3 VLANs
•Viewing Service VLANs
•Configuring VTP Information
Configuring VLANs
You can view information about all VLANs on the device. Click Switch at the top of the window, click VLANs in the left-most pane, and select VLANs from the selector to display the VLANs page (see Figure 4-1).
