Remove IP address on VLAN 1

Question

I have a 6224P switch that I need to integrate with some HP switches. My existing setup uses VLAN 1 for the data network and VLAN 10 for the VOIP network. I've tried to remove ip address on VLAN 1 by entering the interface for this VLAN and issuing 'no ip address 192.168.2.1 /24', but I just get an error that says the VLAN cannot be removed. Any suggestions?

As far as I know, VLAN1 is the default vlan of all the ports of a 62xx switch, so the VLAN can't be removed. Is it possible to change the ip address ?

I'm not trying to remove the VLAN. But I don't want it to have an IP. With the HP switches, I can remove the IP address. I don't understand why I'm not able to do the same with the Dell switch.

Hi!   I think you tried:    config    interface vlan 1    no ip address ....   Please try the following:    config    no ip address 192.168.2.1 255.255.255.0   Do NOT enter 'interface vlan 1'!

Thanks....I had tried that also. I just got the same error message. I finally gave in and created another VLAN and put my data network on that one.

You cant specify an address when removing it in vlan 1. For example Config# int vlan 1 Config# no ip address That should work.
