512CHAPTER 13: VLAN MANAGEMENT

3Com Network Director explicitly does not use any IP subnet information associated with a VLAN to infer VLAN (non)equivalence or use VLAN names to override (non)equivalent IDs.Consider the following network:

Figure 265 Network Example

Because the links are tagged, 3Com Network Director will be able to deduce that the VLANs with ID 2 on each of the three switches are the same. Similarly with VLAN ID 3. However, the user has not used consistent names when creating the VLANs. 3Com Network Director will pick one of the three names for VLAN ID 2 to represent the VLAN in the 3Com Network Director user interface. For example, 3Com Network Director might list the VLANs on the network as:

eng VLAN (ID=2)

admin VLAN (ID=3)
