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. The VLAN dialog box displays all defined VLANs, their configurations, and their current status. |
|
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.
|
The following table describes the fields in the VLAN dialog box.
|

|
The VLAN ID for the VLAN (unlabeled farthest left column).
|
Name
|
The name of the VLAN.
|

|
The color used, for visual purposes only, by VLAN Manager to associate a color with a VLAN. The assigned color does not affect the behavior of a frame, only the attributes assigned to the VLAN.
|

|

|
ActiveMembers

|
