KB.15.15

If GVRP is enabled, this setting includes any dynamic VLANs on the switch. As part

of implementing a new setting, you must execute a write memory command to

save the new value to the startup-config file, and then reboot the switch.

NOTE: If multiple VLANs exist on the switch, you cannot reset the maximum number

of VLANs to a value smaller than the current number of VLANs.

Example 9 Changing the number of allowed VLANs

Shows the command sequence for changing the number of VLANs allowed to 10. Note that you

can execute the commands to write memory and boot at another time.

HP Switch(config)#: max-vlans 10

This command will take effect after saving the configuration

and rebooting the system.

HP Switch(config)#: write memory

HP Switch(config)#: boot

Device will he rebooted, do you want to continue [y/n]? Y

Assigning the primary VLAN

Syntax:

primary-vlan vid | ascii-name-string

In the default VLAN configuration, the port-based default VLAN (DEFAULT_VLAN)

is the Primary VLAN. This command allows reassignment of the Primary VLAN

function to an existing, port-based, static VLAN.

The switch will not reassign the Primary VLAN function to a protocol VLAN.

NOTE: If you reassign the Primary VLAN to a non-default VLAN, you cannot later

delete that VLAN from the switch until you assign the Primary VLAN to another

port-based, static VLAN.

To identify the current Primary VLAN and list the available VLANs and their

respective VIDs, use show vlans.

Example 10 Re-assigning, renaming and Viewing the VLAN command sequence

Shows how to re-assign the Primary VLAN to VLAN 22 (first command line), rename the VLAN

22-Primary (second command line) and then display the result (third command line):

HP Switch(config)#: primary-vlan 22

HP Switch(config)#: vlan 22 name 22-Primary

HP Switch(config)#: show vlans
