Global configuration mode
Description Use this command to configure a VLAN interface. Use the no interface vlan vlan_id command to
delete a VLAN interface.
Usage
Guidelines
All of the ports on the switch are a part of the default VLAN 4095.
Make sure your converged mode interface is not configured to classify untagged packets to the
same VLAN as the incoming VLAN-tagged packets. By configuring a converged interface to classify
untagged packets (by using classifiers or the default port vlan_id) to the same VLAN as
VLAN-tagged packets coming into the interface, the FCoE hardware sends out untagged packets to
the CNA. These packets may be dropped, disrupting communications.
Examples To create a VLAN with ID 56:
switch(config)#interface vlan 56
switch-cmsh(conf-if-vl-56)#
