For VTP version 1 or 2, you can set the VTP mode to transparent in global configuration mode. You
should save this configuration to the startup configuration so that the switch boots up in VTP transparent
mode. Otherwise, you lose the extended-range VLAN configuration if the switch resets. If you create
extended-range VLANs in VTP version 3, you cannot convert to VTP version 1 or 2.
•
STP is enabled by default on extended-range VLANs, but you can disable it by using the
no spanning-tree
vlan vlan-id
global configuration command. When the maximum number of spanning-tree instances
are on the switch, spanning tree is disabled on any newly created VLANs. If the number of VLANs on
the switch exceeds the maximum number of spanning-tree instances, we recommend that you configure
the IEEE 802.1s Multiple STP (MSTP) on your switch to map multiple VLANs to a single spanning-tree
instance.
•
The number of routed ports, SVIs, and other configured features affects the use of the switch hardware.
If you try to create an extended-range VLAN and there are not enough hardware resources available,
an error message is generated, and the extended-range VLAN is rejected.
•
In a switch stack, the whole stack uses the same running configuration and saved configuration, and
extended-range VLAN information is shared across the stack.
