Maximum VLANs (8) on V1910-48G

[NiklasKoneo]

Hello!

I just bought a V1910-48G and want to set it up at a company-hotel and all the companys should be on their own vlans. For the time being I have 19 vlans I want to set up.

Apparently this switch only support a maximum of 8 VLAN interfaces! Really weird, right now we have an old 3COM -switch that can manage these 19 vlans without any problems.

I have googled quite a bit and I've found a couple of threads that mentions the max-vlans command but that isn't recognised by my switch. Do this command only work on ProCurve -switches? If so, how can I raise the bar on the V1910? Because of course it is a software-limitation right now.

Thank you in advance!

The v1910 supports 256 vlan and 8 vlan interfaces. If you need more vlan interfaces you should be some other switch.

Hmm, what should I do with 256 vlans if I only can have 8 vlan interfaces? Or am I misunderstanding something? Each VLAN should have their own IP-adresses right? Or can I limit the VLANS so they cant see each other anyway?

[Fredrik Lönnman]

You only need vlan interfaces if you need to route between the vlans, and since the 1910 is primary a L2 switch and not a L3 switch, you need to do the routing elsewhere if you need more than 8 vlan interfaces.

Ok!

Do you know of any switch that meet my needs? Gigabit and 48 ports would be nice.

[Fredrik Lönnman]

The 5500 series would be the smallest one with gig that supports that number of vlan interfaces.

Hello.Thanks for the info.So if my ISP gave me vlan # 1111, I can not work with it, using this model of the switch?

Hello Everyone,

I'd like know how the swtches and it limits of Vlan interface.

Ex: I have two models, 5500 and 3600 and I don't how many vlan interface their support.

Thanks.
