Team,

im trying to no shut a vlan (vlan id is 1788) on my switch, unfortunately, getting the error

%Command is only allowed on VLAN 2..1001.

Ive tried this on 3850 & 9300 cat switches. its the same behavior.

I can see that its possible to add vlan upto 4094, but why cant i no shut any vlans thats above 1000+

You do no shut for vlan from vtp server?

If Yes what is vtp ver. You have?

[shabeeb]

its locally on the switch.. vtp mode is server

Feature VLAN:
--------------
VTP Operating Mode : Server
Maximum VLANs supported locally : 1005

  The problem can be related to switch in server mode. Change it to transparent mode, if you are not using VTP to propagate vlans.

Hello
FYI - vlans 1002-1005 cannot used for user vlans which means you cannot suspend or shut them down
any vlan higher these vlans can be used as users vlans but again cannot be shutdown but they CAN be suspended
Example:
vlan 1788
state suspend

@Flavio Miranda @MHM Cisco World  the above has not relation to any vtp mode

[MHM Cisco World]

For relate of VLAN and vtp this ccie note I read somewhere.

For suspend' the suspend is different than shutdown

Suspend meaning the vlan is inactive in whole VTP domain and shutdown is make vlan inactive in single SW.

correct suspending a vlan will propagate throughout the vtp domain IF ONLY you have vtp active
Which really suggests you do not require vtp to shutdown or suspend a vlan, also note the extended vlans if i remember do not even get propagated  through vtp if/when its active

Try this: 

conf t
 default interface vlan 1788
 interface vlan 1788
 shutdown
end
