ADVANCED CONFIGURATION

VLAN CONFIGURATION
As described above, use the VLAN Config tab in Pathscape to configure network VLANs. A VLAN (Virtual Local Area
Network) is a group of ports on the switch (or switches) that are configured to pass traffic to one another, but not to ports
on any other VLAN. When VLANs are established, ports that connect switches to other switches must be "tagged" to pass
all VLAN traffic.
In the VLAN Configuration window, there are three columns: VLAN #, VLAN ID and Device. By default, the VLAN ID will
likely not have unique names (as in the screenshot above) but simply labeled "VLAN 1", "VLAN 2", etc. See VLAN Global
Properties below for details on how to assign custom labels to your VLAN IDs.
Click on the arrow next to each VLAN to the VIA switches available for configuration.
Note that every VIA switch on the network will show up under every listed VLAN. VLAN ranges are configured globally;
it is not possible to assign a switch to only one VLAN in this window. At the subdevice/port level, VLANs may be assigned
as needed.
VLAN Properties such as IP Address, DHCP and IGMP settings are configured per VLAN, per switch. For example, to
configure VLAN 3 (Audio) on the "Rack VIA12" above, expand VLAN 3 and click on the Rack VIA12 device, then edit its
properties in the Properties Pane. To edit VLAN 5 on the same switch, expand VLAN 5 and click on the Rack VIA12 to edit
VLAN 5 on that device.
