	Table 24 Default VLAN table fields (continued)

	Field	Description

	IfIndex	Logical interface index assigned to the VLAN. This value can be in
		one of the following ranges:
		• Passport 1000 Series switch: 257 to 512
		• Passport 8000 Series switch: 2049 to 4096
		Note: This field does not apply to BayStack or Business Policy Switch
		2000 switches.

	IpAddress	IP address, if any, assigned to the VLAN for routing.

VLAN ports

Ports in a VLAN are always members of a spanning tree group (STG). A VLAN can include all the ports in a given STG, and there can be multiple VLANs in an STG, but a VLAN will never have more ports than exist in the STG.

In an STG, VLAN information is displayed in the contents pane when that VLAN is selected.

The icon that precedes the VLAN name identifies the type of VLAN:

•Port

•Subnet

•Protocol

•Mac

Note: Not all VLAN types are available on all devices that Optivity Switch Manager supports. Of these four types of VLANs, Passport 8100 switches and the Business Policy Switch 2000 support only port-based or protocol-based VLANs. BayStack 350/410/450 switches support only port-based VLANs. Refer to the documentation that was shipped with your switch for more information.

To view VLANs:

In the navigation pane, select a VLAN.
