show ports vlan name?

MichaelM1 — Wed, 13 Oct 2021 22:12:14 GMT

When I run the show ports no-refresh command I see all my listed and when I look down the VLAN column some of my ports list a reference number (not the VLAN id) and others show the actual VLAN Name associated to it.

This switch was setup by an engineer that is no longer here and I cant seem to figure out how he got the VLAN Name to show instead of this obscure reference number.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Some ports are assigned to multiple VLANs, in which case you will see a reference to the number of VLANs the respective port is assigned to, instead of the name (or ID) assigned to the VLAN. I.e., if a port is assigned to 4 different VLANs, you'll see a 004 reference

I think the command you are looking for is "show port vlan" (it shows the name of vlan) or "show port vid" (it shows the vlan number)

Also a good one is show ports vlan description, here you'll see the vlan name, vlan id and the info tagged/untagged.
