Vlans question

smity_ozsmity_oz Member Posts: 10 ■□□□□□□□□□
When a VLAN is deleted any ports assigned to that VLAN become inactive. The ports will, however, remain associated with the deleted VLAN until assigned to a new VLAN.
Does this mean if i did a no vlan 3 in the vlan database mode and then a show vlan in priv exec that it would still show the interfaces as being part of vlan 3 but inactive?
Becuase the sim I have puts them back into the default vlan1 and I dont have a real router to test.
Thanks in advance.

    Why is it that to assign a management IP to a switch, you assign the IP to vlan 1? Is there any reason for that or just 'one of them had to be default and vlan 1 is as logical as anything else'?

    Actually the management vlan does not have to be VLAN 1.

    It is the default.

    I typically do something like this:

    1. Create a vlan

    conf t
    vlan 2
    name MANAGE
    exit

    int vlan 2
    ip address 1.1.1.1 255.255.255.0


    Setup a default network statement and shutdown vlan 1

    I'd have to ensure than ports are assigned to vlan 2 so that they can participate.

    So in that case, vlan 2 would need to be on your tunk ports, but not on any access ports. if you were only using it for management purposes?

    //let me clarify. . .here, we keep a couple of servers that have interfaces in vlan1 for management and assign all of the switches 10.x.x.x addresses
