Hi All
I have been tasked with removing some VLAN no longer used, I had set this administratively down which is shown in sh ip int brief command. But when I do sh vlan it says that the status is active?
What's the reasoning behind this? to note this switch is also running EIGRP.

Hello
Sounds like your refering to the L2 vlan when you say its still active
The SVI interface for the same vlan is layer 3 and this you can shut down manually.
I am assuming you have access port or trunk port assinged to this vlan hence why it still shows active.
int vlan10
no shut
sh vlan brief
10 VLAN0010 active

Hi,
When you run the show vlan command this is showing the Layer-2 status of the VLAN. You would also need to add the state suspend and shutdown commands within the vlan context. For example:
! vlan 11 state suspend shutdown !
This will then show as "sus/lshut" (suspended / locally shut) when you run the show vlan command and will disable spanning tree instances for the VLAN.

Hi Paul
Thanks for your reply, that is exactly what I have set up so the port is a trunk port assigned to the Vlan.
Thanks for this.
