Resolving Vlan Conflicts - pathway VIA PWVIA RM P12 User Manual

RESOLVING VLAN CONFLICTS

If you have set up your VLANs as described above, and you later add another VIA switch to your network that has different
VLAN settings, you will likely see the following message in red at the bottom of the Pathscape window:
Go to the VLAN Config tab and you will see something like this:
Because the VLAN properties are stored on each physical VIA switch, when a new switch comes online with different property
values, Pathscape doesn't know which one(s) to use. For each VLAN ID that has multiple values associated with it, Pathscape
will instead list the ID as "<Varies> (X)" with X being the number of different values found across all switches.
As described above, Pathscape requires VLAN settings to be Global across the entire network, so only one set of VLAN
properties (including ID, VLAN Enable/Disable, VLAN Range, and Management VLAN) may be used.
You will have to resolve the conflicts before you can continue. Click the button, and the Resolve VLAN
Property Conflicts window will open.
