Changing Native VLAN for 3500XL

cadams · ‎08-30-2002

I want to use VLAN 300 for the native (management) VLAN on a 3500XL. How do I do that on the 3500? I am using .1Q on GigabitEthernet0/1 that is connecting to a 6509. I have setup the port for trunking on the 6509 and specified the vlan as 300 for management.

This should do the trick on your trunk interface.

switchport trunk native vlan 300

interface GigabitEthernet0/1

no ip address

shutdown

switchport

switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q

switchport trunk native vlan 300

switchport mode trunk

end

Hope this helps,

Don

Don,

Do I then create an interface for VLAN300 on the switch or do I used VLAN 1 and then assign the IP address?

Native Vlan is nothing to do with the management vlan. If you want Vlan 300 has the management Vlan, then please create int vlan 300 , and please make sure you shutdown the vlan 1 before doing no shut on the vlan 300

Native vlan is the vlan which is not tagged when trunking is on the port.
