VLAN Domains Portlet
The VLAN Domains portlet displays all data for the "VLAN Domains" that have been created.
A VLAN Domain is a concept that we have included in order to allow the user to specify that
equipment being managed may be from different labs, different customer sites, etc. that are not in
the same network. For example, if you have two groups of managed devices , and they are on
entirely different networks, but they both have a VLAN30, you will need a way to inform the
software that the VLAN30 on the first group of devices is different from the VLAN30 on the second
group of devices. The VLAN Domain concept provides you with the functionality to do this. (See
the
Working with VLAN Domains section for more information on VLAN Domains.)
Each entry in the VLAN Domains Portlet will contain data for the following:
• Name - The Name of the VLAN Domain. These must be unique.
• Description - Description of the VLAN Domain.
VLAN Domain Assignments
The VLAN Domain Assignments portlet will display one entry for each assignment of a particular
port, interface, device, etc. to a VLAN Domain. (For more information regard VLAN Domain
Assignment, please see "Working with VLAN Domains").
