VLAN Manager

VLAN management in a VCS environment

Table 74 lists the VLAN management features that are supported in VCS mode (Fabric mode) and

standalone mode.

VLAN Manager tabs

VLAN Manager has three views:

• VLAN view

Displays distinct Layer 2 broadcast domains by VLAN ID. If FDP or LLDP is not enabled on a

device, each VLAN from each device is displayed in separate folders by VLAN ID. If FDP or LLDP

is enabled on the devices, a VLAN folder shows device connectivity on the Layer 2 broadcast

domains.

If there are super-aggregated VLANs that have been configured on the network, VLANs are

grouped by their super-aggregated VLAN memberships.

If the VLANs are in different networks, they display as different nodes, even if FDP or LLDP is

not enabled on the device.

• Product view

Displays the VLANs configured on a device. The information is grouped by products. Select a

product to view the VLANs that are on that device.
