Example 7 Wrapping column headers

The total output wraps if it is longer than the terminal width; it is not truncated.

HP Switch(config)#: show vlan custom id

Status and Counters - VLAN Information - Custom view

HP Switch(config)#: show vlan custom id:2

Creating an alias for show VLAN commands

Create an alias for a frequently used show vlans custom command to avoid entering the

selected columns each time you use the command.

Example 8 Using a VLAN alias

HP Switch(config)#: alias showvlanstatus = “show vlan custom A1-A3 id name:20 status”

HP Switch(config)#: show vlan status

Status and Counters - VLAN Information - Custom view

VLANID VLAN name Status

------ -------------------- ----------

1 DEFAULT_VLAN Port-based

33 Vlan33 Port-based

Using pattern matching with the show VLANs custom command

If a pattern matching command is in a search for a field in the output of the show vlan custom

command and it produces an error, the error message may not be visible. For example, if you

enter a command with the pattern matching include option that contains an error (such as 'vlan'

is misspelled) as in the following example, the output may be empty:

HP Switch(config)#: show vlans custom 1-3 name vlun include vlan1

HP recommends that you try the show vlans custom command first to ensure there is output,

and then enter the command again with the pattern matching option.

Changing the number of VLANs allowed on the switch

Syntax:

max-vlans 1-2048

In the default VLAN configuration, the switch allows a maximum of 256 VLANs.

Use this command to specify the maximum VLANs to allow, and specify any value

from 1 to 2048.
