switch VLAN WTF

By chance I noticed that "802.1Q VLAN" is enabled on our managed switch, when it's supposed to be disabled by default. All ports included as "untagged". I did not enable it. Could it have something to do with having setting up port trunking? Can I leave it?  8-O

It's for setting up VLANs, separated virtual networks using the same switch. As long as all ports have the same VLAN ID you can leave it. Or you can disable it.

Just wondering how it came to be enabled, since I'm the only one with admin access and didn't enable it.

IIRC it was enabled by default, but all ports with the same VLAN ID, on my Netgear managed switches. But, then again I may be recalling incorrectly!

If you're talking about VLAN trunking (Trunk doesn't have a standard definition) then this would require 802.1Q for sure. If you mean LACP trunking then no, that wouldn't need 802.1Q.

But, you don't give any detail about the switch...

If all ports are untagged on a single VLAN it won't make any odds.

Yeah, it's port trunking. Switch manual calls it "L2", not "LA". VLAN trunking is not mentioned.
