Displaying VLANs
Use the show vlan privileged EXEC command to display a list of all VLANs on the switch, including
extended-range VLANs. The display includes VLAN status, ports, and configuration information. To
view normal-range VLANs in the VLAN database (1 to 1005), use the show VLAN database
configuration command (accessed by entering the vlan database privileged EXEC command).

can extend the VLANs across an entire network.
Two trunking encapsulations are available on all Ethernet interfaces:
