Explanation
The VLAN description length exceeded 256 characters.
Solution
Specify a VLAN description consisting of up to 256 alphanumeric characters.
% Can't add vlan. Max entry over.
Explanation
No more VLANs can be created. The maximum VLAN entries (128 entries) allowed are registered
on the system.
Solution
Delete unnecessary VLANs and reissue the command.
% Can't delete vlan. same pvid entry
Explanation
The VLAN cannot be deleted because the specified port was set to port VLAN ID
(“port-vlan-id”).
Solution
Make sure that each port VID is not the same as the VLAN ID. If not required, delete
the port VID using the “no port-vlan-id” command. Then, delete the VLAN.
Note
z VLAN descriptions are not checked for duplication. Specify a unique description for each VLAN on the network.
Example
First, create a VLAN having VID 2 and VLAN description “vlan-floor1”. Second, create a VLAN having VID 3 and VLAN
description “vlan-floor2”.
Finally, check the VLAN descriptions using the “show vlan” command.
xg(config)# vlan 2 description vlan-floor1
xg(config)# vlan 3 name vlan-floor2
xg(config)# exit
xg# show vlan
