What does the command "show vlan" accomplish on an AOS-CX switch?

The command "show vlan" on an AOS-CX switch is specifically designed to provide information about the VLANs that are configured on the device. When this command is executed, it displays critical details such as VLAN IDs, names, status (active or inactive), and the ports associated with each VLAN. This information is essential for network administrators to manage and troubleshoot VLAN configurations effectively.

Understanding the current state of VLANs is crucial, as it allows for better network segmentation, improves performance, and enhances security by isolating broadcast domains. Thus, the command offers a comprehensive view of how VLANs are set up and functioning within the switch's architecture.
