Working with VLAN Domains
As previously mentioned, due to the fact that when collecting VLAN data from a particular device,
it is impossible to tell one "VLAN30" apart from a "VLAN30" that might be on a different device -
one that is not networked to the first device in any way - the concept of a "VLAN Domain" has been
introduced. By making use of these VLAN Domain Assignments, you can inform the software
when one "VLAN30" is separate from another "VLAN30".
Creating a VLAN Domain
The first step to making use of VLAN Domains, is to create one in "VLAN Domains" portlet. To
initiate the creation process, right-click anywhere within the table, and select the "New" option
(Note: If you have not yet added the "VLAN Domains" portlet to a page, you must do so. Please
see "Adding VLAN Related Portlets to Your View(s)" for more information.)
After selecting this option, you will then be presented with a dialog prompting you to enter a name
and description for your new VLAN Domain.
After entering the information, click "Save", and your new VLAN Domain should now exist within
the system, and be ready for use.
