VLAN Commands

4-241

4
Ethernet traffic must not be mapped to another VLAN or you will lose
administrative network connectivity to the switch. If lost in this manner, network
access can be regained by removing the offending Protocol VLAN rule via the
console. Alternately, the switch can be power-cycled, however all unsaved
configuration changes will be lost.
