:Anyone have any experience configuring a linksys srw224 switch using

:"invalid VID" for anything over 255. It is configured to use 802.1Q
:which as I understand it should support 12 bit VIDs.
A lot of devices only allow a subset of the 12 bits. Only allowing
up to 1000 or 1023 is particularily common; values above 1005 are
often referred to as "extended vlans". Perhaps at one point only
10 bits were allocated.
The User Guide
ftp://ftp.linksys.com/pdf/srw224-ug.pdf
says you can have up to 64 vlans (page 7), and page 30 says
to use 1 to 255 for the VLAN ID. So it's a documented restriction.
