Current VID Member Set, Type
For each VID number in the first column, the entry in this column correlates the way in which the
module became and continues to be a member:
PermanentThis indicates that the module was assigned the VID number through direct
configuration by the operator.
DynamicThis indicates that the module adopted the VID number through enabled dynamic
learning, when a tagged packet from an SM behind it in the network, or from a customer
equipment that is behind the SM in this case, was read.
Current VID Member Set, Age
For each VID number in the first column of the table, the entry in this column reflects whether or
when the VID number will time out:
for Permanent typethe number will never time out, and this is indicated by the digit 0.
for Dynamic typethe Age reflects what is configured in the VLAN Aging Timeout
parameter in the Configuration => VLAN tab of the AP or reflects a fewer number of minutes
that represents the difference between what was configured and what has elapsed since the
VID was learned. Each minute, the Age decreases by one until, at zero, the AP deletes the
learned VID, but can it again from packets sent by elements that are beneath it in the network.
IMPORTANT!
Values in this Active Configuration block can differ from attempted values in
configurations:
A VLAN profile administered by the BAM subsystem in Prizm is
capable of overriding any configured VLAN value, if the
Configuration Source parameter in the AP is set to BAM.
The AP can override the value that the SM has configured for
SM Management VID Pass-Through.
The VLAN tab also provides the following buttons.
