how many vlans can i creat on my 2924 3

[raviccie]

i connected several routers on to the fastethernet ports
and i wanted to find out if i can keep each interface in a separate vlan. i hope i can do this right?
any totally how many vlans can i create on my cisco 2924?

any command line help with the creation of the vlans

I believe 64 is the maximum number of vlans on a 2924. To create vlan's:

-vlan database
-vtp server
-vlan 2 name whatever
-vlan 3 name nextvlan
-vlan 4 name etc...
exit

then to apply to each interface
config t
int faste 0/1
switchport access vlan 2
int faste 0/2
switchport access vlan 3

Hi,
AFAIK, the 64 limit is applied to STP instances. The formula is p + v1 + v2 + ...+vn < 64, where p is the number of access ports, v1 is the number of VLANs active on trunk1, v2 is the number of VLANs active on trunk2, etc.
So if you are having 22 access ports in VLAN1,...,VLAN22 and two trunks (ports 23 and 24) with all VLANs enabled and STP enabled in all VLANs, then 22 + 22 + 22 = 66 > 64 and you are in trouble!!!

Hi,
regarding to the output provided there are 15 VLANs defined on your switch. The only remaining thing is to assign ports to VLANs. Go to interface config and use switchport command:
conf t
int fa 0/2
switchport access vlan 2
switchport mode access
if you want to put port Fa0/2 to VLAN2, e.g. (the &quot;switchport mode access&quot; command shouldn't be necessary, it's default).
Just to clarify: &quot;VLAN database&quot; command is not a part of config, it's invoked form CLI enable prompt.

Regards,
Milan

Hi,

Along the same lines. I have a question. Need to clear the orginal config, first
2924M-XL IOS 12.0(5)WC5

How to VLAN9 with ports FA0/0-8 with IP address 192.168.10.2 255.255.255.224 for the VLAN9 with portfast
port FA0/1 with talk to a PIX and port FA0/8 with talk to a Netgear switch 516 which is non-vlanable

And to VLAN10 with ports FA0/17-24 with IP 10.1.10.2 255.255.255.224 for VLAN10

Rusty.

Thanks,

 

[raviccie]

thanks everybody (specially kulik and jschrafer)for all your technical help and expertise...
even though...i had a couple of books..on cisco switching...i couldn't find straight answers to my problems/issues...

keep up the good work...

once i become an expert myself...i promise to come back and help others...

Rusty,
if I understand situation, let me first say you can only have one &quot;management&quot; vlan per switch (one ip address).

&quot;wr erase&quot; to erase configuration, then reload.
int vlan 9
ip address 192.168.10.2 255.255.255.224
management

int faste 0/1 (do for each port 1-8)
spanning-tree portfast
switchport access vlan 9

int faste 0/17 (do for each port 17-24)
spanning-tree portfast
switchport access vlan 10

For your Netgear switch, all ports will be in vlan 9.

That should get you going.
