2.Press [E] (for Edit), then do one or more of the following:

To change the maximum number of VLANs, type the new number.

To designate a different VLAN as the primary VLAN, select the Primary VLAN field and use the space bar to select from the existing options.

To enable or disable dynamic VLANs, select the GVRP Enabled field and use the Space bar to toggle between options. (For GVRP information, see chapter 3, “GVRP”.)

For optimal switch memory utilization, set the number of VLANs at the number you will likely be using or a few more. If you need more VLANs later, you can increase this number, but a switch reboot will be required at that time.

3.Press [Enter] and then [S] to save the VLAN support configuration and return to the VLAN Menu screen.

If you changed the value for Maximum VLANs to support, you will see an asterisk next to the VLAN Support option (see below).
