Main Menu

Configure VLAN

(if switch is in Default Mode)

Description

Use this screen to activate or change the type of VLAN operating on the switch. If there are no VLANs active on the switch, this is the first screen displayed when you select Configure VLAN from the Main Menu. By default, VLANs are not active on the Intel® NetStructure™ 470F and 470T Switches so they must be activated before you can start configuring them.

The 470 switches support only one type of VLAN operating at a time. However, you can have multiple VLANs of the same type.

Select the type of VLAN: Changes the type of VLAN on the switch (press

z). The 470 switches support three types of VLANs: port-based, IEEE 802.1Q (tag-based), and protocol-based.

APPLY: Activates the changes to the VLAN and reboots the switch.

NOTE

The first time you configure the switch, the system takes you directly to the Configure VLAN Operation Mode screen.
