Static Virtual LANs (VLANs)
Configuring VLANs
Show VLAN lists this
data when GVRP is
enabled and at least
one port on the switch
has dynamically
joined the designated
VLAN.
Figure 2-20. Example of “Show VLAN” for a Specific Dynamic VLAN
Changing the Number of VLANs Allowed on the Switch. In the default
VLAN configuration, the switch allows a maximum of 8 VLANs. You can
specify any value from 1 to 256.
Syntax: max-vlans < 1-256 >
Specifies the maximum number of VLANs to allow. (If GVRP
is enabled, this setting includes any dynamic VLANs on the
switch.) As part of implementing a new setting, you must
execute a write memory command (to save the new value to the
startup-config file) and then reboot the switch.
Note: If multiple VLANs exist on the switch, you cannot reset
the maximum number of VLANs to a value smaller than the
current number of VLANs.
For example, to reconfigure the switch to allow 10 VLANs:
Note that you can
execute these
three steps at
another time.
Figure 2-21. Example of Command Sequence for Changing the Number of VLANs
Changing the Primary VLAN. In the default VLAN configuration, the port-
based default VLAN (
DEFAULT_VLAN) is the Primary VLAN. However, you can
reassign the Primary VLAN to any port-based, static VLAN on the switch. (For
