An asterisk indicates you must reboot the switch to implement the new Maximum VLANs setting.

Port-Based Virtual LANs (VLANs) and GVRP

Port-Based Virtual LANs (Static VLANs)

To change the maximum number of VLANs, type the new number (1 - 256 allowed; default 8).

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 “GVRP” on page 11-34.)

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.

If you changed the VLAN Support option, you must reboot the switch before the Maximum VLANs change can take effect. You can go on to configure other VLAN parameters first, but remem­ ber to reboot the switch when you are finished.

If you did not change the VLAN Support option, a reboot is not necessary.
