No, this will indeed create the vlan. In fact, you don't need to access the
VLAN Database at all to make VLAN's...VLAN configs can also be done in
global config mode. Doing it the way you described will create a vlan with a
generic name. Check out the PDF at this link on basic 3550
configuration..it'll explain it well.
