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 any VLAN that is running any Layer 2 protocol traffic at all.
When you attempt to disable a VLAN running Layer 2 protocol traffic, the system returns a message
similar to the following:
VLAN accounting cannot be disabled because it is actively use 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.
● Although you can remove ports from a disabled VLAN, you cannot add ports to a disabled VLAN or
bind Layer 2 protocols to that VLAN.
When you attempt to disable a VLAN running Layer 2 protocol traffic, the system returns a message
