Viewing VLANs Configured on the NSS
When you first display the
Network VLAN
page, the currently configured VLANs appear.
Configuring a VLAN to connect to the NSS depends if it is trunk-based or port-based. To configure a
trunk-based VLAN, follow the steps provided next. To configure a port-based VLAN, configure the
switch to assign the port to which the NSS is connected to the desired VLAN. In this case, no
configuration changes are required on the NSS.
To view the VLANs currently configured on the NSS:
1. From the
Manager Menu
, click
Network
VLAN.
The
VLAN Configuration
page appears.
2. View the following details for each existing VLAN that appears in the
VLAN Configuration
table:
•
Link:
The link on which the VLAN is configured. The status appears as "1+2".
•
VLAN:
The ID of the VLAN. This is configured when the VLAN is added to the NSS and
should match the ID of the VLAN as it is configured in your network. The range of valid VLAN
IDs is from 0 to 4095.
•
Priority:
The quality of service (QoS) as defined in the IEEE 802.1p standard for the VLAN
traffic. VLAN Ethernet frames contain a three-bit priority tag ranging from 0 to 7 (where 0 is
best effort and 7 is network-critical traffic).
•
Label:
A text description for the VLAN (for example, "Data," "Voice," "Video," and so on).
This description is used solely as a reference within the NSS interface and does not affect its
operation.
