DEFAULT_VLAN is an IEEE 802.1Q Static VLAN with VID equal to 1. 
DEFAULT_VLAN cannot be deleted.  
The VID cannot be changed. The VID that is equal to 1 is reserved for 
DEFAULT_VLAN. 
The VLAN name can be changed to any other valid VLAN name. 
You cannot delete a port from DEFAULT_VLAN, unless it is a member of another 
802.1Q VLAN. 
You cannot forbid a port from DEFAULT_VLAN, unless it is a member of another 
802.1Q VLAN. 
If a port is deleted from the only 802.1Q VLAN of which it is a member, then it will 
automatically become a member of DEFAULT_VLAN as an untagged, egress port. 
If a port is assigned to a user-created 802.1Q VLAN, and is not a tagged egress port 
member of DEFAULT_VLAN (in other words, it is an untagged egress port), then it will 
be deleted automatically from DEFAULT_VLAN.  
A tagged egress port of DEFAULT_VLAN will not be deleted from DEFAULT_VLAN, 
when it is assigned to another user-created 802.1Q VLAN. 
To edit VLAN definitions and to configure port settings for IEEE 802.1Q VLAN support: 
1. Highlight Configure VLANs on the Configuration menu. 
2. Press the Enter key. The following screen is displayed.
