Modifying and managing existing VLANs

The main dialog box for managing VLANs in Device Manager is the VLAN dialog box. To open the VLAN dialog box:

➨From the Device Manager main menu, choose VLAN > VLANs.

The VLAN dialog box opens (Figure 51). The VLAN dialog box displays all defined VLANs, their configurations, and their current status.

Figure 51 VLAN dialog box

Note: After a VLAN is created, you cannot change the VLAN type.

The VLAN must be deleted and a new VLAN of the chosen type created.

Table 41 describes the fields in the VLAN dialog box.
