Link Ports These are the ports that are used for connection to another device and are used as part of one or more
Network VLANs including the current VLAN. On the display, these will be identified with the capital
letter L. A Link Port cannot be changed from the VLAN Configuration screen. It must be changed on
both ends of the link using the Create Vlan, Extend Vlan, or Delete Link applications. However, a
Link Port can be changed in the VLAN Interface Configuration application, which is a similar
application that is launched on VLAN interfaces either from a VLAN Map or a VLAN Interface row
in one of the Inventory tables. In this application, Link Ports can be toggled from L (not part of the
VLAN) to lu (linked untagged), to lt (linked tagged). This is useful for repairing VLAN entries that
have become inconsistent with the entry for the device at the other end of the link
Rapier Spe-
cific Vlan
Parameters
These apply only to VLANs on Rapier-type devices, and are divided into two areas:
1. Device Wide Parameters - These are read -only and display device-level attributes as Enabled or
Disabled:
- IGMP Status
- IP Multicast Hardware Switching
- OSPF Status
- PIM Status
2. VLAN Interface Parameters - These are read-write and apply only to the selected VLAN:
- IGMP Enabled
- OSPF Area - Set the Open Shortest Path First Area
- OSPF Metric - Set the Open Shortest Path First Metric
- PIM Mode
iMAP Spe-
cific Parame-
ters
These apply only to iMAP devices, and are divided into two areas:
1. Device Wide Parameters - These are read -only and display device-level attributes as Enabled or
Disabled:
- Access Interface - This is the IP interface the device is using to communicate with the NMS.
Options are MGMT (for the
Ethernet interface that transports only management data packets)
or the IP address of inband interface (in-band Ethernet interface that interleaves user data
packets with management data packets on the uplink, using a VLAN interface).
- IGMP - Whether IGMP has been Enabled or Disabled for the device
2. VLAN Interface Parameters - These are read-only and apply only to the selected VLAN:
- Double Tagged (HVlan) - If the selected VLAN is an HVLAN (and will therefore be a VLAN used
to switch the traffic across the network), this is shown as TRUE. Refer to Section 6.
- Translation Ports - When the VLAN chosen is a translation VLAN (where a service
provider takes a customer VID and translates it into a unique VLAN ID for transport across
the network), this field contains the ports the translation VLAN ID resides on. Refer to
Section 6. Note that HVlan and Translation are mutually exclusive features.
Create Create a new VLAN. A Create New VLAN form will appear, with the default name and number one
that has not been used yet.
Delete Allows the user to delete the selected VLAN. (Note that since the default VLAN [VID 1] cannot be
deleted, this button is inactive when the selected VLAN is VLAN 1.)
Reset Cancels the changes that were made using the graphic. The graphic reverts to the original port
assignments.
Apply Makes and confirms the port assignment changes. If any errors occur, (such as a conflict with another
user making port changes), there is an error message and the history window is displayed.
Less/More This shows/hides the additional attributes, one for Rapier-specific Vlan parameters, one for iMAP-
specific VLAN parameters, such as specific translations. These are explained above.
Show Links If the VLAN is configured as part of a Network VLAN, selecting this button will show the physical
links over which the logical VLAN links are configured.
