deleting multiple interface vlans easily

millerjw · ‎03-12-2010

I have a switch that has a lot of blank interface vlans that I want to clean up.

There are a lot of them (few hundred) with the config

interface VLANxxx

no ip address

is there an easy way to get rid of several at one time?

I have a trick, use Excel.

Just write:

no interface vlan 1

in a cell (or start with the vlan interface number you need). Then just drag the lower right corner of the cell downwards and the cells below will populate with ascending numbers.

Then just copy and paste into the switch.

Hi J,

If you are sure that those vlans are not in production LAN,then i would recoomend to delete the unwanted vlan interface before deleting the vlan interfcae also check by show vlan command that how many ports are connected to those vlan and are in working condition or not before deleting the vlan interface.

and always recoomended to delet vlan interface one by one rather in single shot, command to delete is no vlan interface 100.

Hope to Help !!

To delete VLAN instances: no vlan 10,22-30,33,36
To delete VLAN interfaces: no interface range vlan <#> - <#> , <#>

thanks for setting my stupid straight.

I tried no int vlan range xx-xx and of course it didn't work.

There's a space in between the "-".
