Configuring VLAN groups and virtual routing interface groups
Allocating memory for more VLANs or virtual

routing interfaces

Layer 2 and Layer 3 Switches support up to 4095 VLANs. In addition, Layer 3 switches support up
to 512 virtual routing interfaces.
The number of VLANs and virtual routing interfaces supported on your product depends on the
device and, for Chassis devices, the amount of DRAM on the management module.
the default and configurable maximum numbers of VLANs and virtual routing interfaces for Layer 2
and Layer 3 Switches. Unless otherwise noted, the values apply to both types of switches.

NOTE
If many of your VLANs will have an identical configuration, you might want to configure VLAN groups
and virtual routing interface groups after you increase the system capacity for VLANs and virtual
routing interfaces. Refer to
page 472.
Increasing the number of VLANs you can configure
NOTE
Although you can specify up to 4095 VLANs, you can configure only 4094 VLANs. VLAN ID 4094 is
reserved for use by the Single Spanning Tree feature.
To increase the maximum number of VLANs you can configure, enter commands such as the
following at the global CONFIG level of the CLI.
PowerConnect(config)# system-max vlan 2048
PowerConnect(config)# write memory
PowerConnect(config)# end
PowerConnect# reload
Syntax: system-max vlan <num>
The <num> parameter indicates the maximum number of VLANs. The range of valid values
depends on the device you are configuring. Refer to
Increasing the number of virtual routing interfaces you can configure
To increase the maximum number of virtual routing interfaces you can configure, enter commands
such as the following at the global CONFIG level of the CLI.
PowerConnect(config)# system-max virtual-interface 512
PowerConnect(config)# write memory
PowerConnect(config)# end
PowerConnect# reload
Syntax: system-max virtual-interface <num>
