Integrated TEM/Unix or TEM/NT Based VLAN Server.
This server is integrated with the TEM application and is use in policy- based VLANs. Policy-based VLANs are supported on ATM-based switches such as the CoreBuilder 7000/7x00, SuperStack II Switch 1000 with ATM downlink, Switch 3000 with ATM downlink and Desktop Switch with ATM downlink.
The integrated VLAN server can be populated using the BuildvDB tool in the ATMvLAN Tool bar and can be viewed and modified using the MACVdb Tool.
Auto-select VLAN Configuration. The following describes how to configure the auto-select mode on Ethernet and Fast Ethernet based networks.
Auto-select mode allows devices to automatically partition their ports into
VLANs based on the MAC address of the endstation attached to the port.
This mode is supported on SuperStack II Switch 1000, SuperStack II
Switch 3000 and Desktop Switch.
Please refer to the SuperStack II Switch 1000 and 3000 Configuration
Manual for a description of this feature.
When Auto-select mode is enabled, these switches communicate with the stand-alone VLAN Server to determine the MAC address to VLAN association. If a MAC address to VLAN association is not found in the VLAN server member table, the VLAN server returns a default VLAN ID (VLAN 1) and then enters the new MAC address into its member database and associates this new MAC address with VLAN 1.
To move a MAC addresses from one VLAN to another, or to change a MAC address to VLAN association in the VLAN Server member database, the VLAN server database must be modified using the Locator tool. By modifying the mapping between a MAC address and the corresponding VLAN, you can indirectly move segments on the devices that are in the “AutoSelect” mode to various VLANs based on the MAC address to VLAN association.
The stand-alone VLAN Server database can be viewed and modified using the VLAN Server Member tab under the Locator Tool. The VLAN Server Scalar Parameters Tool under in the Locator is used to configure the
