Static Virtual LANs (VLANs)
Port-Based Virtual LANs (Static VLANs)
Changing the Number of VLANs Allowed on the Switch
By default, the switch allows a maximum of 8 VLANs. You can specify any
value from 1 to the upper limit for the switch. (Refer to table 2-1 on page 2-4.)
If GVRP is enabled, this setting includes any dynamic VLANs on the switch.
As part of implementing a new value, you must execute a write memory
command (to save the new value to the startup-config file) and then reboot
the switch.
Syntax: max-vlans < 1 .. 256 >
For example, to reconfigure the switch to allow 10 VLANs:
Note that you can
execute these
three steps at
another time.

Changing the Primary VLAN
In the factory-default configuration, the default VLAN (DEFAULT_VLAN) is
the primary VLAN. However, you can designate any static VLAN on the switch
as the primary VLAN. (For more on the primary VLAN, see “The Primary
VLAN” on page 2-7.) To view the available VLANs and their respective VIDs,
use show vlan.
Syntax: primary-vlan <vlan-id>
For example, to make VLAN 22 the primary VLAN:
ProCurve(config)# primary-vlan 22
Creating a New Static VLAN Changing the VLAN Context
Level
With this command, entering a new VID creates a new static VLAN. Entering
the VID or name of an existing static VLAN places you in the context level for
that VLAN.
