The MultiSwitch 700 Device View

!

CAUTION

For older versions of MultiSwitch 700 firmware, if 802.1Q is to be utilized it may be required that all modules in the chassis be configured to operate in 802.1Q mode. If you attempt to activate a MultiSwitch 700 module’s 802.1Q component via the Mib Tools application, you may lose contact with the rest of the chassis once the device resets. For this reason, we recommend that Local Management be used to activate 802.1Q mode for MultiSwitch 700 modules.

Refer to your device’s Local Management documentation for instructions on activating a device’s 802.1Q operational mode via Local Management. For details on the Mib Tools application, refer to your Tools Guide.

To set up your 802.1Q port-based VLANs using NetSight Element Manager, you must first define the desired VLANs using the VLAN Config window

(Figure 2-26), which allows you to assign VLAN IDs and optional VLAN names, and enable or disable VLANs.

After your VLANs are defined, you may configure the ingress and egress lists for each port using the VLAN Port Config window (Figure 2-27) and the VLAN Egress Port Config window (Figure 2-28), respectively.

Setting VLAN Parameters and Operational Modes

802.1Q VLANs are defined using the VLAN Config window, which is accessed from the Device menu in your switch’s Device View. To launch the window:

1.Click on Device in the Device View menu bar to display the Device menu.

2.Click on 802.1Q VLAN and then right to select 802.1Q VLAN Config. The VLAN Config window, Figure 2-26, opens.
