Figure 298 Device Summary Stage
Creating the new VLAN on the selected switches and ports
To proceed with the changes displayed in the summary stage above, click
the Finish button. You will then be presented with a dialog box that
shows the progress as the new VLAN is created on each of the switches.
After 3Com Network Director has successfully completed the creation of
the VLAN on all the switches, you will be presented with a dialog box
from which you can launch a Create VLAN Summary report detailing the
changes that were made.
3Com Network Director creates the new VLAN on each switch one at a
time. If 3Com Network Director fails to create the VLAN on a switch for
whatever reason, 3Com Network Director will stop the configuration
process and will not attempt to create the VLAN on any other switches.
An error dialog box will be displayed from which you can launch the
Create VLAN Summary report detailing the error that occurred and those
switches that were successfully configured, if any.
If an error occurs during the configuration process, or if you cancel the
configuration process, then the VLAN information held in the map may
not correctly reflect the VLAN configuration of your network. If this
occurs, you should rediscover your network. You can speed up this
rediscovery process by limiting the rediscovery to only those subnets and
devices for which VLAN configuration was being performed.
