Description and comments Actions via IOS CLI for CIGEMS1 Actions via CMS for CIGEMS1
Important: The current version of CMS supported on the Cisco Systems IGESM has a
limitation in its ability to completely control VLANs being placed on a given trunk: It always
includes VLAN 1 and 1001-1005, even if you do not set them as allowed. Therefore, its use
might not be appropriate for production configuration when trying to control VLANs allowed
on a given trunk.
