Changing the Number of VLANs Allowed on the Switch

In the default VLAN configuration, the switch allows a maximum of 256
VLANs. You can specify any value from 1 to 2048.
Syntax: max-vlans < 1-2048 >
For example, to reconfigure the switch to allow 10 VLANs:
HP Switch[config)# max-vlans 10

reassign the Primary VLAN to any port-based, static VLAN on the switch. (For
more on the Primary VLAN, refer to "The Primary VLAN" on page 1-49.) To
identify the current Primary VLAN and list the available VLANs and their
respective VIDs, use show vlans.
Syntax: primary-vlan
For example, if you wanted to reassign the Primary VLAN to VLAN 22 and
rename the VLAN with "22-Primary" and display the result:
Specifies the maximum number of VLANs to allow. (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.
Default: 256
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.
