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 a 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:


Note Note: Not all VLAN types are available on all Optivity Switch Manager-supported devices.Of these four types of VLANs, Passport 8100 modules and BayStack 350/410/450 switches support port-based or protocol-based VLANs only. Refer to device documentation for more information.

To view VLANs:

In the navigation pane, select a VLAN.
The VLAN table opens in the contents pane.
