  • Page 55: Using Vlan Manager

    Using VLAN Manager VLAN Manager manages Spanning Tree Groups (STGs) and VLANs across devices in a network. Optivity Switch Manager is the starting point for VLAN Manager, and Optivity Switch Manager must be open to use VLAN Manager. This chapter describes using VLAN Manager to manage VLANs on Passport and BayStack switches.

  • Page 56: Spanning Tree Protocol

    The collection of ports in one spanning tree is called a spanning tree group (STG) and a network may include multiple instances of STGs. All the devices supported by Optivity Switch Manager support at least one STG. The Passport 1000 Series switch and the Passport 8600 modules support multiple spanning trees, thus multiple spanning tree groups.
