8.1.3 Defining VLAN networks
When you define VLAN networks, you define an uplink set, referred to as
"shared uplink set" in the following, which the various VLAN networks with
different VLAN IDs share. As each network within a shared uplink set is
given a unique VLAN ID, these networks are completely separate from one
another.
By grouping several active uplink ports in an uplink set and assigning an
uplink set to a network, a link aggregation group (LAG) can be formed. Since
it is possible to use several connections simultaneously in a LAG, you can
achieve a higher transmission speed and greater level of reliability in the net-
work.
In this case, a static LAG is formed, i. e., the LACP protocol is not
supported. Please note that even the ports on the external switch,
which are connected with the IBP ports that form a LAG, also have
to form a static LAG.
To define an VLAN networks, follow the steps below:
1. Click on the Ext. LAN Connections tab in in the work area on the left.
2. Start the Create network wizard by:
l
clicking New on the Graphic or Details tabs
l
selecting New Uplink Set in the context menu of an uplink set.
The Create network wizard is launched.
