Configuring the VLAN on Catalyst 2900/3500 XL, 2950, and 3550 Series Switches
Step 1 Before you create VLANs, you must decide whether to useVTP in your network. Using VTP, you can make configuration changes centrally on a single switch, and have those changes automatically communicated to all the other switches in the network. The default VTP mode on the switches mentioned in this section is the server mode.
For details on VTP, refer to Understanding and Configuring VLAN Trunk Protocol
You can check the VTP status on the XL Series Switches, by using the show vtp status command.
3524XL#show vtp status
VTP Version : 2
Configuration Revision : 0
Maximum VLANs supported locally : 254
Number of existing VLANs : 5
VTP Operating Mode : Server!-- This is the default mode
VTP Domain Name :
VTP Pruning Mode : Disabled
VTP V2 Mode : Disabled
VTP Traps Generation : Disabled
MD5 digest : 0xBF 0x86 0x94 0x45 0xFC 0xDF 0xB5 0x70
Configuration last modified by 0.0.0.0 at 0-0-00 00:00:00
Step 2 By default, there is only a single VLAN for all ports, and this VLAN is called the default. VLAN1 cannot be renamed or deleted. You can run show vlan command to check the VLAN information.
3524XL#show vlan

3524XL#
Use the following set of commands in the privileged mode to create another VLAN:
3524XL#vlan database!-- You have to enter into vlan database, to configure any VLAN
3524XL(vlan)#vtp server
Device mode already VTP SERVER.
!-- You may skip the above command, if the switch is already in server mode,
and you want the switch to be in server mode
Note: A switch is only allowed to create VLANs if it is in VTP server or VTP transparent modes. For details on VTP, please refer to the Understanding and Configuring VLAN Trunk Protocol (VTP) document.
