Configuring Static VLANs

The static VLAN corresponding to the manual assignment of switch ports to a VLAN via aVLAN management application or directly working on the switch. These ports maintain the VLAN configuration assigned to them until it is changed manually.
• Movements are controlled and managed.
• There is a management software to configure VLAN robust ports.
• It is not desirable to evaluate the additional overhead required to update the MAC addresses of end stations and custom filtering tables.
Dynamic VLANs do not rely on ports assigned to a specific VLAN.
The following guidelines must be followed when configuring VLANs on Cisco 29xx:
• The maximum number depends on the VLAN switch.
• The VLAN 1 is one of the default VLAN.
• The VLAN is an Ethernet VLAN by default.
• Announcements CDP (Cisco Discovery Protocol) and VTP (VLAN Trunking Protocol) is sent on VLAN 1. (VTP is discussed in Module 9)
• The Catalyst 29xx IP address is associated by default broadcast domain VLAN 1.
• The switch must be in VTP server mode to create, add, or delete VLANs.
Creating a VLAN on a switch is a very simple and straightforward task. If you use a switch-based Cisco IOS commands, switch VLAN configuration by using the vlan databaseprivileged EXEC mode. The steps for creating a VLAN are shown below. A VLAN namecan also be configured as necessary.
