Can we use the Default VLAN 1?

We are very new to Extreme. Coming from HP/Aruba.

We have a production VLAN 1 that is used. Can we use the Default Vlan 1 on the EXOS Extreme switches just like any other VLAN?

Coadmin,

You can use VLAN 1/Default VLAN 1 just like any other VLAN...

Thanks,

Bill

You can, but I tend to avoid it (And this goes with any manufacturer) as it tends to have network management capabilities running there that you might otherwise not have enabled on other vlans.
