VLAN shutdown after name change

Hello all,

Last week we had a VLAN temporarily shut down on our core 3750 stack after it's name was updated; no other changes were made, the name was simply udpated from the default VLANXXXX to a more user friendly convention; as soon as this occurred the VLAN shutdown unexpectedly and had to be brought back up.  This VLAN was only in use in one other building on 2 different 3750 stacks; I've tried to duplicate the scenario in a lab enviornment with the same IOS, running configs, and VLAN database as the production network swtich stacks that were affected but have not been successful in reproducting the behavior;  I revisted the IOS guide for this particular switch and could not find any notes or warnings in relation to renaming a VLAN. The core stack is running 12.2.46SE (VTP server) while the affected stacks (and VTP clients) are running 12.2.53SE.  Any ideas as to why this may have occurred would be helpful.

  Nope can't say I have ever seen that on any Cisco box ,  just changing the vlan name.

Nor me. I also looked for abug but couldn't find one related to that.

Well that is reassuring...it was definitely unexpected behavior and resulted in a short outage on that VLAN as we investigated to see what occurred.
