Vlan – How many vlans we can create in one single port

vlan

May I know how many vlans can be create and configure in single port and we can access in switch???

If we create the vlan and if we assigned one port to particular vlan, I thought that should be works under one vlan and if possible means how many max we can create and how to configure?

Often, a given device has a hardware limit of e.g. 512 VLANs.

With 802.1q tagging, the absolute limit is 4,094 (the tag is 12 bit in size and VIDs 0 and 4,095 are reserved).

With 801.1aq tagging, the tag (SPBV) is expanded to 24 bit, so 16 million VIDs are possible.

When trunking between devices you can have a single VLAN untagged, all others need to be tagged.
