• The ports in a VLAN or MultiLink Trunk must be a subset of a single spanning tree group.
• VLANs must have unique VLAN IDs and names.

• An access (nontagged) port can belong to one and only one port-based VLAN.
• The Default VLAN (VLAN ID 1) cannot be renamed or deleted, and it cannot have its type changed from port-based VLAN.
