Configuration requirements for VLAN Manager
Before you can manage VLANs with VLAN Manager, you must complete the following tasks:
• Make sure that the discovery process has been run. Discovery captures configuration
information from Brocade products and places that information in the Management
application database. Refer to Chapter 4, “Discovery” for details on running discovery.
• Make sure the VLAN Manager privilege is in your Management application user role or account
if you need to use VLAN Manager.
• If you want to view VLAN connectivity in the Layer 2 topology, make sure Foundry Discovery
Protocol (FDP) or Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is enabled on the devices on the
network.
Displaying a list of VLANs
To view the list of VLANs that were discovered on the network, select Configure > VLANs.
The VLAN View tab of the VLAN Manager dialog box displays.
The VLAN Manager toolbar contains the following buttons:
• Add—Launches the Add VLAN dialog box.

• 802.1ag CFM—If the Management application manages at least one of the service provider
products (NetIron XMR, MLX, CES, or CER), this button launches the 802.1ag CFM
configuration dialog box.
