5. The following prompt displays:
Enter the Admin Status for this vlan (Enable (e) / Disable (d):
Enter whether or not you want the Administrative Status for this VLAN to be enabled or
disabled. Once enabled, the switch begins using the policies you defined. A disabled
VLAN is still defined (name, number, policies intact), but the switch keeps the VLAN
disabled. The enable/disable status may be changed at a later time using the modatvl
command.
Note
A VLAN may not always be operational even when its
Admin Status is enabled. The VLAN becomes opera-
tional as soon as a port is assigned to it. In addition, a
VLAN ’s operation may be disabled by the switch
because devices in the VLAN cease transmitting data,
among other reasons.
After you enter the Administrative Status, additional prompts display that allow you to
select the rules governing membership in this
VLAN . Go on to the next section, Step B.
Defining and Configuring VLAN Policies on page 22-18 to continue setting up this VLAN .
