562CHAPTER 13: VLAN MANAGEMENT

An alternative approach is to highlight the VLAN in the map. This will provide you with a graphical picture of the switches on which the VLAN is configured. To do this:

1Launch the Options dialog box from the Tools > Options menu option and select the VLANs tab.

2Select the Include only configured devices radio button if it is not already selected. This ensures that only switches on which the VLAN is configured will be highlighted in the map.

3Launch the Show VLANs tool from the Tools > Show VLANs menu option.

4Select the VLAN that you want to view the switches for within the VLAN: drop-down menu.

Any switches in the map that the VLAN is not configured on will be greyed out.

Having located the switches that the VLAN is configured on you can launch the Properties dialog and select the VLANs tab. From here you can view per-device information about the VLAN, such as which ports it is configured on as tagged or untagged.

Reporting the VLAN configuration of all switches on the network

If you wish to generate a report detailing the VLAN configuration of all the switches on your network, you can launch the VLAN Configuration report. See “VLAN configuration report” on page 533 for details.

Moving a port to another VLAN

This section describes how you would move a port from one VLAN to another. For example, you wish to move an end-station port from the default VLAN, ID 1, to another VLAN, called accounts with ID 2. If this port is currently connected to an end-station, you would first select the link to the end-station on the map and then launch the Edit VLANs wizard. See “Edit Port VLAN Membership wizard” on page 552.
