■To change the maximum number of VLANs, type the new number (1 - 30
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 in formation, see
“GVRP” on page 14-30.)
Note 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 VLAN s later,
you can increase this number, but a switch reboot will be required at that time.

asterisk next to the VLAN Support option (see below).
