Interface VLAN dependencies

I would like to know if Interface VLAN is dependant on the creation of VLAN and the range of interfaces that belongs to that VLAN.
the way I understand it.
specify a range of interfaces:
interface range fa0/1-5
switchport mode access
switchport access vlan 10
Interface Vlan 10
ip address 10.0.0.10

* I know Switches and probably routers have default interface Vlan1 (Native vlan), but which interfaces are part of the Interface Vlan if it is not specified , as I did specify it in the configuration example I mentioned above ?


Thank you

let 's say you have a network  appliance that has 10 ports

if you create Vlan interface:
Interface Vlan 10
ip address 10.0.0.10


then how do you know which port that you should plug in your computer to,  in order to access the appliance.

That's what I initially meant by dependency.

if you do not specify the range of ports that make a certain vlan , then the interface vlan X, might not work.
Probably if you create Interface Vlan 1, this might work, because most of cisco appliances have vlan 1 as native vlan
