In this post we describe the set of tested and working cisco switch VLAN (Virtual LAN) command line options . This post covers the following topics- Creating a VLAN
- Assigning a IP address or Switch Virtual Interface(SVI) to VLAN
- Assigning a specific switch port to VLAN
- Assigning a port range to VLAN
- View VLAN properties
- Delete a created VLAN
Creating a VLAN and Assigning IP address (SVI)
