Define networks
On the VLANs page, you can enter information of the networks that are currently configured in your environment which the
devices can access.
NOTE: To perform any tasks on OpenManage Enterprise, you must have necessary role-based user privileges and scope-
based operational access to the devices. See Role and scope based access control in OpenManage Enterprise on page 15.
1. Select Configuration > VLANs > Define.
2. In the Define Network dialog box, enter a name and an appropriate description.
3. Enter the VLAN ID, and then select the network type.
You can select a network type only for MX7000 chassis. For more information about the network types, see Network types
on page 95.
4. Click Finish.
The network currently configured in your environment is now defined and resources can access the network.
NOTE: Scope-based restrictions don't apply to VLANs as these are common resource pools. Once a VLAN is defined by the
administrator, it is available to all the device managers for use.
