Summary of VLAN Local Management
8-2 802.1Q VLAN Configuration Menu Screens
8.1 SUMMARY OF VLAN LOCAL MANAGEMENT
The VLAN configuration process is an extension of normal Local Management operations. A
series of Local Management screens provides access to the functions and commands necessary to
add, change, or delete VLANs and to assign ports to those VLANs.
The VLAN Configuration screens are a standard part of the Local Management hierarchy when
the switch is configured to operate in 802.1Q Mode. The hierarchy of the Local Management
screens pertaining to 802.1Q VLAN configuration is shown in Figure 8-1.
Figure 8-1 802.1Q VLAN Screen Hierarchy
8.1.1 Preparing for VLAN Configuration
Some forethought and planning are essential to good VLAN implementation. Before attempting to
configure a single switch for VLAN operation, consider the following:
• How many VLANs will be required?
• What stations will belong to them?
• What ports are connected to those stations?
• What ports will be configured as GARP-aware ports?
It is also helpful to sketch a diagram of your VLAN strategy. The examples provided in Chapter 13
are useful depictions of the planning process.
To configure the switch for VLAN operation, proceed as follows:
• Access Local Management as described in Chapter 3.
• Perform all required initial setup operations.
• Navigate to the 802.1Q VLAN Configuration Menu screen to begin the VLAN configuration
process for the switch.
