Figure 6-1:
VLAN Manager applet, topology shown by VLAN
The VLANs currently known to the Enterprise Manager database are displayed in the
Component Tree on the left. The panel on the right shows summary information about
the VLANs currently known to the Enterprise Manager database.
You must add Summit switches to the ExtremeWare Enterprise Manager
database using the Add function in the Inventory Manager in order to make them
“known” to the ExtremeWare Enterprise Manager. Until you add a switch to the
database, you cannot create any VLANs on that switch.
Information about VLAN ports is obtained when a switch is added to the database.
The VLAN Manager can display information organized either by VLAN or by switch.
• Select By VLAN to nest each switch with ports belonging to a VLAN under the
VLAN, as shown in Figure 6-1.
• Select By Switch to nest each VLANs that “owns” ports on a Summit switch under
the switch, as shown in Figure 6-2.
