Deleting the default vlan on HP Procurve 5406 switch

Question

I´ve tried to delete the default vlan on the switch multiple times, via CLI and using the menu options by Telnet, but it keep showing the message= "The default VLAN cannot be deleted". There are no ports assigned on that vlan. ¿Is there a way to delete it?

It seems to me that the default VLAN can't be deleted on HP switches, just as it can't be deleted on Cisco and Dell switches. — joeqwerty, Oct 02 '13 at 17:15

No, you can't delete it.

Instead, just don't use it.

Will that work for the *default* VLAN? – womble Jun 18 '18 at 05:12
@womble No, it doesn't: `Default VLAN can not be deleted.` – gxx Oct 04 '21 at 10:36
