VLAN ports
Ports in a VLAN are always members of a spanning tree group (STG). A VLAN
can include all the ports in a given STG, and there can be multiple VLANs in an
STG, but a VLAN will never have more ports than exist in the STG.
In an STG, VLAN information is displayed in the contents pane when that VLAN
is selected.
The icon that precedes the VLAN name identifies the type of VLAN:
• Port
• Subnet
• Protocol
• Mac
To view VLANs:
IfIndex Logical interface index assigned to the VLAN. This value can be in
one of the following ranges:
• Passport 1000 Series switch: 257 to 512
• Passport 8000 Series switch: 2049 to 4096
Note : This field does not apply to BayStack or Business Policy Switch
2000 switches.
IpAddress IP address, if any, assigned to the VLAN for routing.
Note: Not all VLAN types are available on all devices that Optivity
Switch Manager supports. Of these four types of VLANs, Passport 8100
switches and the Business Policy Switch 2000 support only port-based
or protocol-based VLANs. BayStack 350/410/450 switches support only
port-based VLANs. Refer to the documentation that was shipped with
your switch for more information.
In the navigation pane, select a VLAN.
