Because all ports on the ME 3800X and ME 3600X are NNIs, these commands have no effect on the
switch.
Creating and Modifying VLANs
You use VLAN configuration mode, accessed by entering the vlan global configuration command to
create VLANs and to modify some parameters. You use the interface configuration mode to define the
port membership mode and to add and remove ports from VLANs. The results of these commands are
written to the running-configuration file, and you can display the file by entering the show
running-config privileged EXEC command.
These sections contain VLAN configuration information:

For more efficient management of the MAC address table space available on the switch, you can control
which VLANs learn MAC addresses by disabling MAC address learning on specific VLANs. See the
"Disabling MAC Address Learning on a VLAN" section on page 5-28
