VLAN Monitoring
VLAN monitoring is essential for the wired-side connection status detection, host name detection, smart
device detection, rogue AP detection, and so on. Select Enable Additional VLAN Monitoring check box
to enable the device to monitor additional VLANs. Include all the additional VLANs to be monitored as a
comma-separated list. The VLAN used by the device to communicate with the server is always monitored
and need not be specified here. The additional VLANs to be monitored must be configured on the switch
port where the device is connected and must be DHCP enabled. A VLAN ID '0' indicates untagged VLAN
on the switch port where the device is connected, irrespective of the actual VLAN number on the switch.
