<table><thead><tr><th width="203">Keyword</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><code>no</code></td><td>(Optional) This is the same as <code>ip autovlan off.</code></td></tr><tr><td><code>off</code></td><td>Disables automatic VLAN provisioning.</td></tr><tr><td><code>on</code></td><td>Enables automatic VLAN provisioning.</td></tr></tbody></table>

## Defaults

Automatic VLAN provisioning is enabled by default.

## Usage Guidelines

When automatic VLAN provisioning is enabled, Island will create a new VLAN interface whenever a packet is received with an 802.1Q VLAN Identifier that does not match an existing VLAN interface.

This command is valid only in interface context. Entering it will set the [interface mode](/island-router-cli-2.3.2/commands/ip-interface-context/ip-autoconfig.md) to `manual`.

```
ip autovlan off
