We are using a pair of Dell S6000 switches, running OS 9.13.

 

I just wanted to check the behaviour of shutdown on a vlan interface. We have a vlan which is in a shutdown state

 

"Vlan 49 is down, line protocol is down"

We have a mix of tagged and untagged ports. We dont do any routing on this vlan interface. 

Whats odd is all devices connected to the switch, either using tagged traffic or the untagged ports can talk to each other.

If the VLAN is shutdown, surely that would stop the traffic, especially any tagged traffic?
