Purpose
Names the VLAN. You can enter up to 32 alphanumeric characters to
name the VLAN. You cannot change the name of VLAN1 or the internally
allocated VLANs. The default value is VLANxxxx where xxxx represents
four numeric digits (including leading zeroes) equal to the VLAN ID
number.
The system vlan long-name command allows you to enable VLAN names
that have up to 128 characters.
Sets the state of the VLAN to active or suspend. While the VLAN state
is suspended, the ports associated with this VLAN become inactive, and
that VLAN does not pass any traffic. The default state is active. You
cannot suspend the state for the default VLAN or VLANs 1006 to 4094.
Enables the VLAN. The default value is no shutdown (or enabled). You
cannot shut down the default VLAN, VLAN1, or VLANs 1006 to 4094.
