Before you begin changing/moving VLANs in the network, you must define the admin and default VLANs using this option.
Select the ELAN that the admin VLAN is using. Enter the “admin” in the entry field and click Add and then click Apply.
Retaining VLAN Aliases and Colors
You can retain VLAN aliases and colors for subsequent installations. To save the colors save the file: \TranscendNT\ATMvLAN\runtime\dat\VnRgb.dat
After you reinstall the ATMvLAN Management application, restore the saved file to the original directory.
VLAN Aliases cannot be added to the LECS database from the Backbone and Services Configuration window. The LECS database uses ELAN IDs only. Aliases have significance in the local management station only.
