Cannot create VLAN

The VLAN cannot be created.

Possible Cause

All VLAN resources are exhausted.

Solution

For the Nexus 5000, the maximum number of active VLANs and VSANs per switch is 512 (31 reserved for VSAN; remainder reserved for VLAN). Use the show resource vlan command to determine the number of available VLANs.

Example:

 switch(config)# show resource vlan
      Resource               Min       Max      Used    Unused     Avail
     -----------            -----     -----    ------  --------   -------
      vlan                16       512        25         0       487
