What is the VLAN ID range?

VLAN Ranges

VLANs Range Usage
1 Normal Cisco default. You can use this VLAN but you cannot delete it.
2-1001 Normal For Ethernet VLANs; you can create, use, and delete these VLANs.
1002-1005 Normal Cisco defaults for FDDI and Token Ring. You cannot delete VLANs 1002-1005.
1006-4094 Extended For Ethernet VLANs only.

What is the untagged VLAN?

the untagged vlan also called native vlan is an 802.1Q concept that enables a vlan not getting tagged on a 8021.q trunk link for backward compatibility with devices not 802.1Q aware.When a switch receives a frame on a trunk link with no tag it categorizes this frame as part of the native vlan that was configured on the …

What is the maximum VLAN ID?

4,094
Under IEEE 802.1Q, the maximum number of VLANs on a given Ethernet network is 4,094 (4,096 values provided by the 12-bit VID field minus reserved values at each end of the range, 0 and 4,095).

Is VLAN 1 the same as untagged?

As VLAN 1 is the default native VLAN, it is used for untagged traffic. If you need to pass frames tagged VLAN 1, you will not be able to, by default. The solution is to change the default VLAN to another value. Once this is done, VLAN 1 can be passed across the trunk just the same as any other VLAN.

What is VLAN ID used for?

A VLAN represents a broadcast domain. VLANs are identified by a VLAN ID (a number between 0 – 4095), with the default VLAN on any network being VLAN 1. Each port on a switch or router can be assigned to be a member of a VLAN (i.e., to allow receiving and sending traffic on that VLAN).

Is VLAN ID unique?

Each VLAN can be uniquely identified by VLAN ID, which is transmitted & received as IEEE 802.1Q tag in an Ethernet frame. You can partition the router into up to 4095 different VLANs—depending on the router model and the physical interface types—by associating logical interfaces with specific VLAN IDs.

Can I use VLAN 4096?

Each 802.1Q VLAN is identified by a 12-bit integer called a VID (VLAN Identifier) in the range 1 to 4094 inclusive. The values 0 and 4095 are reserved and should not be used. Vlan numbers are limited to 4096 because into the ethernet datagram the space reserved to vlan ID is 12 bits length.

Should management VLAN be untagged?

Just as your operations and your visitors are put on two (or more) VLANs to separate the network traffic, it is a best practice to use a separate management VLAN for the web and CLI* for your network equipment—router, switch(es), and access point(s). This way, users cannot access (and therefore hack) your hardware.

How do I put a port into a VLAN other than ‘untagged’?

To put a port into a vlan other than default as ‘untagged’ we need to make sure no other vlans are bound to that port. To do this we can check what vlans are attached to the port. In this scenario my default vlan is 999. It would be 1 on a switch that it was not manually changed on.

What is the difference between VLAN tagging and untagged packets?

Note: Depending on the vendor, an untagged port that receives a tagged packet will drop that packet, except the VLAN tag matches the VLAN configured on that port. On the other hand, some devices understand and participate in VLAN tagging.

Why is there no VLAN tagging on the fa0/1/2 ports on switch1?

Since both ports (Fa0/1 and Fa0/2 on Switch1) are untagged ports, there will be no VLAN tagging on those ports. The switch will just use the VLAN configured on the port to forward the packets correctly.

What is a native VLAN and how does it work?

The switch assigns any untagged frame that arrives on a tagged port to the native VLAN. If a frame on the native VLAN leaves a trunk (tagged) port, the switch strips the VLAN tag out. In short, the native VLAN is a way of carrying untagged traffic across one or more switches. Consider this Example.
