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 (Extreme Automatic Protection Switching), STP (Spanning Tree Protocol), or ESRP (Extreme Standby Router Protocol).

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).

The following example disables the VLAN named "accounting":
