VLAN Information
The Topology applet can display information on the VLANs configured on the switches in a map. By
default, VLAN information is
not displayed.
You can view VLAN information in two ways within the Topology View applet:
●
By VLAN , which highlights all devices and links on the current map with ports in a selected VLAN.
●
By device , which displays a list of VLANs configured on any endpoints (ports) on the selected
device.
VLAN information for links is always displayed in the Map Element Description Panel whenever a link
is selected, regardless of the VLAN Display mode.
To enable the VLAN information display for devices on a map, do one of the following:
●
Click the VLANs icon in the Topology Map Toolbar.
●
Select Display from the menu bar, and then select VLAN information . This is a toggle menu item;
select it once to display VLAN information, select it again to remove the VLAN information display.
When you enable the VLAN information display, a drop down field appears in the applet Toolbar that
lists all the VLANs configured for devices on the map.
●
To view VLAN information by VLAN on the current map , select the VLAN from the drop-down list. The
links and devices that are involved in the VLAN are highlighted on the map, devices and links not
in the VLAN are dimmed.
