The VLAN Manager is an enterprise-wide application that manages all aspects of
VLANs on Summit devices. If you run the Enterprise Manager with Administrator or
Manager access, you can create and delete VLANs, add or remove ports from existing
VLANs, and create and modify the protocol filters used to filter VLAN traffic.
In the Enterprise Manager, a VLAN is defined uniquely by its
• Name
• 802.1Q tag (if defined)
• Protocol filters applied to the VLAN
As a result, multiple switches are shown as members of the same VLAN whenever all
the above are the same.
For a more detailed explanation of VLANs, see the chapter “Virtual LANs (VLANs)” in
the Summit Switch Installation and User Guide.
