Hello,
If I have multiple VLANs like 500, 700 and 800 in access switch.
Can I know whether I need to add those VLANs in vlan database?
Can I immediately assign those VLANs to access switch port?

Hi
You will need to create (add) the vlans before assigning ports to them (although it will take your config).
Depending on ios/model of switch, there are 2 ways to do this.
From global configuration mode :-
switch(config)#vlan 500
switch(config-vlan)#name
switch(config-vlan)#exit
OR
switch#vlan database
switch(vlan)#vlan 500 name
switch(vlan)#apply
switch(vlan)#exit
Once you have created the vlans, you will be able to assign them to interfaces.

If you do a "show vlan " command and they show in the display as active then they are already in the database , other create them as the previous poster indicated.
