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

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.
