Port-Based Virtual LANs (VLANs) and GVRP

GVRP

Converting a Dynamic VLAN to a Static VLAN. If a port on the switch has joined a dynamic VLAN, you can use the following command to convert that dynamic VLAN to a static VLAN:

Syntax: static <dynamic-vlan-id>

For example, to convert dynamic VLAN 333 (from the previous example) to a static VLAN:

HPswitch(config)# static 333

When you convert a dynamic VLAN to a static VLAN, all ports on the switch are assigned to the VLAN in Auto mode.

Web: Viewing and Configuring GVRP

GVRP Operating Notes

A dynamic VLAN must be converted to a static VLAN before it can have an IP address.

The total number of VLANs on the switch (static and dynamic combined) cannot exceed the current Maximum VLANs setting. For example, in the factory default state, the switch supports eight VLANs. Thus, in a case where four static VLANs are configured on the switch, the switch can accept up to four additional VLANs in any combination of static and dynamic. Any additional VLANs advertised to the switch will not be added unless you first increase the Maximum VLANs setting. In the Menu inter- face, click on 2. Switch Configuration ... 8. VLAN Menu 1. VLAN Support. In the global config level of the CLI, use max-vlans.
