Usage Guidelines
This command allows you to administratively disable specified VLANs. The
following guidelines apply to working with disabling VLANs:
- Disabling a VLAN stops all traffic on all ports associated with the specified VLAN.
-
You cannot disable a VLAN that is running Layer 2 protocol control traffic for protocols such as EAPS, STP, or ESRP.
When you attempt to disable a VLAN running Layer 2 protocol control traffic, the system returns a message similar to the following:
VLAN accounting cannot be disabled because it is actively used by an L2 Protocol
- You can disable the default VLAN; ensure that this is necessary prior to disabling the default VLAN.
- You cannot disable the management VLAN.
- You cannot bind Layer 2 protocols to a disabled VLAN.
- You can add ports to or delete ports from a disabled VLAN.
Caution
Disabling the Mgmt VLAN disables access to the Ethernet Management port on a switch (disable vlan Mgmt).Example
