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.
