Hi All,

This may sound like one of the basic questions for switching, however I just
tried these on my newly acquired 3550's and am really confused.

1.> If asked to change the default VLAN, how does it work? I have tried
using the default vlan <x> command, but when I do sh vlan it always gives me
the default vlan as 1. First I thought that after giving this command
changing the names would do the trick but it still allocates the unused
ports to VLAN 1 :(

2.> What does management interface mean. If I have a number of VLAN
interfaces with IP address configured, how does the switch decide, which one
is the management interface???IS it the default VLAN again at play???

Thanks as always for showing me the light :)

Smiles,

Mohit.
