Note. Up to 4093 VLANs can be assigned to a tagged port or link aggregation group. However, each
assignment counts as a single VLAN port association. Once the maximum number of VLAN port associa-
tions is reached, no more VLANs can be assigned to ports. For more information, see the chapter titled
Chapter 6, “Assigning Ports to VLANs.”
