VLANs - Default, Native and Management (2024)

Okay, please help in understanding the concept of VLANs by confirming whether the following is true or not, and based on that please help me to clear my doubts.

Default vlan - Always Vlan 1 on a switch and cannot be changed. It's purpose is to account the interfaces/ports which are not assigned with a vlan explicitly.

Native vlan - By default, it is also vlan 1 in a switch, but can be changed. Frames belonging to the native vlan are sent across the trunk link untagged. It's sole purpose is to provide back ward compatibility to the devices that doesn't understand frame tagging, as per 802.1q.

Management vlan- for managing switches.

Now my doubts ::

1. Can anyone please draw and explain a scenario in which NATIVe vlan comes into use, so that I can understand its purpose completely.

2. Management vlan- how they are created/assigned and is used ?
