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

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.
