562 CHAPTER 13: VLAN MANAGEMENT
An alternative approach is to highlight the VLAN in the map. This will
provide you with a graphical picture of the switches on which the VLAN is
configured. To do this:
1 Launch the Options dialog box from the Tools > Options menu option
and select the VLANs tab.
2 Select the Include only configured devices radio button if it is not already
selected. This ensures that only switches on which the VLAN is configured
will be highlighted in the map.
3 Launch the Show VLANs tool from the Tools > Show VLANs menu option.
4 Select the VLAN that you want to view the switches for within the VLAN:
drop-down menu.
Any switches in the map that the VLAN is not configured on will be
greyed out.
Having located the switches that the VLAN is configured on you can
launch the Properties dialog and select the VLANs tab. From here you can
view per-device information about the VLAN, such as which ports it is
configured on as tagged or untagged.
Reporting the VLAN configuration of all switches on the network
If you wish to generate a report detailing the VLAN configuration of all
the switches on your network, you can launch the VLAN Configuration
report. See “
VLAN configuration report” on page 533 for details.
Moving a port to another VLAN
This section describes how you would move a port from one VLAN to
another. For example, you wish to move an end-station port from the
default VLAN, ID 1, to another VLAN, called accounts with ID 2. If this
port is currently connected to an end-station, you would first select the
link to the end-station on the map and then launch the Edit VLANs
wizard. See “
Edit Port VLAN Membership wizard” on page 552.
