Converting a Dynamic VLAN to a Static VLAN.
If a port on the switch
has joined a dynamic VLAN, you can use the following command to convert
that dynamic VLAN to a static VLAN:
Syntax:
static < dynamic - vlan-id >
For example, to convert dynamic VLAN 333 (from the previous example) to a
static VLAN:
HP4108(config)# static 333
When you convert a dynamic VLAN to a static VLAN, all ports on the switch
are assigned to the VLAN in Auto mode.

GVRP Operating Notes
■ A dynamic VLAN must be converted to a static VLAN before it can have
an IP address.
■
The total number of VLANs on the switch (static and dynamic combined)
cannot exceed the current Maximum VLANs setting. For example, in the
factory default state, the switch supports eight VLANs. Thus, in a case
where four static VLANs are configured on the switch, the switch can
accept up to four additional VLANs in any combination of static and
dynamic. Any additional VLANs advertised to the switch will not be added
unless you first increase the Maximum VLANs setting. In the Menu inter-
face, click on
2. Switch Configuration ... | 8. VLAN Menu | 1. VLAN Support . In the
global config level of the CLI, use
max-vlans
.
