Using the VLAN Manager
9 After you add a device and port to the VLAN, you can use the Connect Device button to determine
whether that port can connect to the other members of the VLAN.
• Select the device you want to check.
• Click the Connect Device button.
If EPICenter can find a path from the device and port to another member of the VLAN, it opens a
Connection Information window that displays information about the path, as shown in Figure 164.
Figure 164: Connection Information window
If additional ports or devices and ports must be added to create a path, EPICenter lists the ports
needed, and offers to add them to the VLAN.
• Click Yes to add the ports.
• Click No to close the Connection Information window without adding the ports.
If EPICenter cannot find a path, it displays an error window.
10 When you have finished adding ports to the VLAN, click Apply to implement the changes.
The VLAN is created on the switches whose ports are members of the new VLAN.
Once you have added a VLAN, you can specify an IP address and mask for the VLAN on each switch,
and also enable or disable IP Forwarding.
1 Select the IP Forwarding tab at the top of the Add VLAN window.
The IP Forwarding page is displayed, as shown in Figure 165.
