The last time I checked 12.0(WC17) or something like that, it was not possible. WC17 came out in mid-2007 if I recall correctly.

I don't think that Cisco is going to support anything > 1005 on the XL series switches ever. Their goal is to keep you buying new gear, and if they just keep adding features to the odd stuff, who needs new gear.

Anyway, there's several other improvements that the 2950Gs have over the XLs, that make it much more appealing. Here's a few:

they run 12.1 instead of 12.0
ssh support
"do" support
don't have to use the "vlan database" to create VLANs
etc...

Like I said before, they're dirt cheap and very much worth the slight price increase.

Damn.

Are you absolutely sure there is no IOS upgrade for the existing switch that can fix this?

Alex,

You don't get around it on the 2924. You will need to upgrade to the 2950G-24-EI.

They're not much more than the 2924.

Good luck.

For some reason, my Catalyst 2900 series (WS-C2924-XL) does not like VLAN IDs higher than 1005:


sw01(config)#switchport trunk allowed vlan add 1202
Command rejected: Bad VLAN list - character #5 (EOL) delimits a VLAN
number (1202) out of the range 1 to 1005.

This is with a trunking interface:

interface FastEthernet0/1
 duplex full
 speed 100
 switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
 switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,3,100,1002-1005
 switchport mode trunk

IOS is 12.0(5)WC8 (C2900XL-C3H2S-M).

I'm pretty sure this has already been asked a thousand times, but how do I get around this issue so I can get support for the extended VLAN IDs up to 4096?
