If you don't see VLAN information in the running configuration on a Cisco switch, it could be because the default VTP mode is causing the VLAN database information to appear in another file. To force the configuration to appear in the running configuration, you can use the command vtp mode transparent.

Explanation

To display VLAN information on a Cisco switch, you can use the show switch vlan command in privileged EXEC mode. The show run command displays the complete configuration of a Cisco router or switch, which can be very long and have thousands of lines.

The default VTP mode causes VLAN database information to appear in the vlan.dat file
