552CHAPTER 13: VLAN MANAGEMENT

Before attempting to create the new VLAN on the switches, 3Com Network Director checks the current configuration of each switch to make sure it matches the data held in the map (e.g. has the VLAN configuration of the switch changed, have the number of units in a stackable switch changed). For the Create VLAN wizard to work correctly, your network map has to be up to date.

If the configuration of any of the switches has changed, 3Com Network Director will not attempt to create the new VLAN on any switch. The Create VLAN Summary report will contain an entry detailing the device that has a changed configuration. In this situation you should re-discover your network to bring your map up to date before launching the Create VLAN wizard again.

If the creation of the new VLAN is successful, 3Com Network Director will create an info severity event in the event system. If the creation of the VLAN was unsuccessful, 3Com Network Director will create a warning severity event in the event system. The More Detail dialog box for these events allows you to launch the Create VLAN Summary report for that particular operation.

For more information on working with events see “The Event Log” on page 319.

Edit Port VLAN Membership wizard

The Edit Port VLAN Membership wizard guides you through the process of modifying the existing VLANs on your network. You can add VLANs to, or remove VLANs from, switch ports.

Launching the wizard

Before launching the wizard, you should select those links and devices on your network map on which you wish to edit the VLANs. Then using the right-click VLAN > Edit Port VLAN Membership menu option, or the main window Device > VLAN > Edit Port VLAN Membership menu option, launch the Edit Port VLAN Membership wizard.

Ports with no link connected cannot be selected on the network map. If you wish to modify the VLANs on unconnected ports, these ports can be selected from within the Edit Port VLAN Membership wizard after it has been launched – see next section.
