Is there an option where we can retain the vlan database?
i just notice that when I create a L2 topology , configured vlans on it , wr mem and export startup , and the moment I return back to my lab , load the startup configs, the vlans is not there and I need to reconfigure all vlans again on the switches?

am i missing some steps or is it really possible?

any help is appreciated.

export startup does not export vlan database file. It is known fact.
if you wish to be VLANs exported in the startup cfg, use vtp mode transparent.
