Edit
), then do one or more of the following:
• To change the maximum number of VLANs, type the new number
(1 - 256 allowed; default 8).
• To designate a different VLAN as the Primary VLAN, select the
Primary
VLAN
field and use the space bar to select from the existing options.
(Note that the Primary VLAN must be a static, port-based VLAN.)

number you will likely be using or a few more. If you need more VLANs later,
you can increase this number, but a switch reboot will be required at that time.

to the VLAN Menu screen.
