Just to be sure where all these VLAN questions are leading, you do
appreciate that you don't need either a "default VLAN" or a VLAN
assigned to multicasts, or any other VLAN implementation, necessarily?
Perhaps some switch vendors create a default VLAN by default. That
doesn't mean that this is a requirement of Ethernet or any other L2
protocol I can think of.
None of the 802 or IP protocols require use of VLANs. VLANs are a neat
trick that can be helpful in certain circumstances.
