3.2SUMMARY OF VLAN LOCAL MANAGEMENT

The VLAN conﬁguration process is an extension of normal Local Management operations. A series of Local Management screens provides access to the functions and commands necessary to add, change, or delete VLANs and to assign ports to those VLANs.

A switch supporting 802.1Q VLANs provides the VLAN Conﬁguration screens as a standard part of its Local Management hierarchy when the switch is conﬁgured to operate in 802.1Q Mode. The hierarchy of the Local Management screens pertaining to 802.1Q VLAN conﬁguration is shown in Figure 3-3.

3.2.1Preparing for VLAN Conﬁguration

A little forethought and planning is essential to a good VLAN implementation. Before attempting to conﬁgure a single switch for VLAN operation, consider the following:

•How many VLANs will be required

•What stations will belong to them

•What ports are connected to those stations

•What ports will be conﬁgured as GARP-aware ports

It may also be helpful to sketch out a diagram of your VLAN strategy. The examples provided in Chapter 4 may be useful for a depiction of the planning process.

Access Local Management as described in your device user’s guide. Perform all required initial setup operations. Navigate to the 802.1Q VLAN Conﬁguration Menu screen to begin the VLAN conﬁguration process for the device.
