3 To change the VLAN tag, type a new value into the Tag field.
To disable tagging for the VLAN, type “untagged” into the Tag field.
4 To remove a port from the VLAN, select the port in the Ports in VLAN list, and click Remove .
5 To add a port to the VLAN, first select the switch from the Available Switches list. This displays a
list of ports on the switch that are available to be included in the VLAN.
NOTE
The Available Ports list does not include ports configured as slave load sharing ports.
6
Select one or more ports from the
Available Ports
list.
7
Click
Tagged
to add the ports as a tagged ports. Click
Untagged
to add the ports as an untagged
ports.
If this is an untagged VLAN, you cannot add a tagged port. The tagged button will be grayed out in
this case.
If you add a port untagged, EPICenter must remove it from any other VLAN that includes the port
as an untagged member and that uses the same protocol as the VLAN to which you are adding the
port. EPICenter will warn you and let you confirm that this is what you want.

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 159 .
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.
9
When you have finished adding and removing ports, click
Apply
to implement the changes.
If all ports of a switch are removed from the VLAN, the VLAN is deleted from that switch.
If a port on a new switch is added to the VLAN, then the VLAN is created on that switch.
10
To modify the IP address and mask for a VLAN on a switch, and to enable or disable IP Forwarding
globally for the entire switch, select the
IP Forwarding
tab at the top of the Add VLAN window.
The IP Forwarding page is displayed, as shown in Figure 160 .
