HowTo: Add a descriptive name to a VLAN in Cisco IOS
Posted on Nov 14, 2007 under Cisco | 2 CommentsTags:Cisco
If you have a network with multiple VLANS then it is important to have a descriptive name given to these VLans to identify and for ease of management.
In Cisco IOS this can be done from the vlan database configuration mode
Core_Switch# vlan database
Core_Switch(vlan)# vlan 2 name LEGAL
Core_Switch(vlan)# exit
Now, the following command should show the descriptive name assigned earlier:
Core_Switch# show vlan brief
