By default, the VLAN interface is
enabled. In this case, the VLAN
interface’s status is determined by the
status of the ports in the VLAN, that is,
if all ports of the VLAN are down, the
VLAN interface is down (disabled); if
one or more ports of the VLAN are up,
the VLAN interface is up (enabled).
If you disable the VLAN interface, the
VLAN interface will always be down,
regardless of the status of the ports in
the VLAN.
The operation of enabling/disabling a VLAN’s VLAN interface does not influence the physical status of
the Ethernet ports belonging to this VLAN.
