| Online Help for Optivity Switch Manager Release 1.1 |
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:
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.
