Above is a show version command from the switch.

FRW-trunk#vlan dat

FRW-trunk(vlan)#vlan ?

<1-1005> ISL VLAN index

is this a limitation? I need 4096 Vlans

How can I overcome it. Is there something to change in vtp mode server or transparent???

Please advice

Thanks

Hi,

User-configurable VLANs have unique IDs from 1 to 4094. Database mode supports configuration of IDs from 1 to 1001, but not the extended addresses from 1006 to 4094.

You could create an extended vlan from configuration terminal

Remember that you need the vtp mode transparent.

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

FRW-trunk(config)#vl?

FRW-trunk(config)#vlan?

There is no option to create a vlan in config mode. Only in database mode.

Thanks

I believe XL switches do not support extended range VLANs.
