Trace Path

The Trace Path functionality in 3Com Network Director only shows the physical path(s) between two devices on the network. It does not take into account the presence of VLANs. This means that if the two selected devices are on different VLANs, the path shown may be different from the actual path taken by packets going from one device to the other. Packets sent from a device on one VLAN will have to take a path through a router to reach the device on the other VLAN. This path is unlikely to be the same as the physical path between the two devices. For further information see the “Trace Path” section onpage 188.

Then using the right-click VLAN > Create a VLAN menu option, or the main window Device > VLAN > Create a VLAN menu option, launch the Create VLAN wizard. For example:
