You can remove all the ports from a port-based VLAN without losing the rest of the VLAN
configuration. However, you cannot configure an IP address on a virtual routing interface unless the
VLAN contains ports. If the VLAN has a virtual routing interface, the virtual routing interface IP
address is deleted when the ports associated with the interface are deleted. The rest of the VLAN
configuration is retained.

Enable spanning tree on a VLAN

The spanning tree bridge and port parameters are configurable using one CLI command set at the
Global Configuration Level of each Port-based VLAN. Suppose you want to enable the IEEE 802.1D
STP across VLAN 3. To do so, use the following method.
NOTE
When port-based VLANs are not operating on the system, STP is set on a system-wide level at the
global CONFIG level of the CLI.
1. Access the global CONFIG level of the CLI on device-A by entering the following commands.
2. Access the level of the CLI for configuring port-based VLAN 3 by entering the following
3. From VLAN 3 configuration level of the CLI, enter the following command to enable STP on all

5. Repeat steps 1 – 4 on device-B.
NOTE
You do not need to configure values for the STP parameters. All parameters have default values as
noted below. Additionally, all values will be globally applied to all ports on the system or on the
port-based VLAN for which they are defined.
