The VLAN Conguration task is displayed in the Task Results tab. After the task is completed, OpenManage Essentials
automatically inventories the VLAN conguration of the IOAs on the chassis.
NOTE: While applying VLAN assignments to multiple ports, the VLAN conguration task may fail. The Task Results tab
displays the ports to which the VLAN assignments failed with a message stating that the task failed after multiple retries
or the server closed the network connection unexpectedly. In such a scenario, you can retry the VLAN conguration
after some time to the ports were not congured successfully.
NOTE: OpenManage Essentials uses the IOA CLI commands to congure the VLAN on the IOA. Conguring the VLAN on
the IOA is a time consuming and resource-intensive operation that may aect the performance of the IOA. To balance
the operations on the IOA, OpenManage Essentials runs the IOA CLI commands in a timely manner, ensuring that there is
sucient time to congure the VLAN on the IOA. If the IOA is already running several operations, the VLAN
conguration task may either be prolonged or fail. If the VLAN conguration fails on some IOA ports, you can rerun the
VLAN conguration task on the corresponding IOAs.
