Unassigned VLAN
Even in the largest of networks, not all interfaces are used right away. Which is good for future network expansion. Rathen than encountering down time in order to confirue a replacement down the line.
However, until the time comes to expand, any un-used interfaces should be placed in a VLAN that don't go anywhere. Sometimes known as a "Parking", "Dormant" or "Unsed" VLAN.
Above are some suggestions for what to call your LAN to knowwhere along with some related number. Feel free to comment with your ideas.
