Displaying VLAN Details for an Individual Device

To display details about the VLANs configured on a specific device, click on the device's row in the
Devices table in Network Views. Information about the selected device appears in the details window.
The VLAN tab in the details window contains information about the VLANs configured on the device.

Displaying VMAN Details

To display details about a VMAN, click on its row in the VLAN table. VMANs are indicated by
"VMAN" in the Type column in the VLAN table. When you do this, information about the VMAN
appears in the details window. If you double-click on the row, the VMAN details are displayed in a
separate window.

Categorizing VLANs With Network Names

A network name is a means for categorizing VLANs into logical groups, which can aid in filtering the
information displayed in the VLAN table. This can be useful if you have a large number of VLANs to
manage.
For example, you can assign VLANs to a category (a network name), such as "Building 1", then use the
quick filter function on the VLAN tab to limit the information displayed in the VLAN table to VLANs
with the network name "Building 1".

Creating a Network Name

To create a network name, do the following:
1 Under the Network Views folder, select a device group or the All group.
2 From the Tools menu, select VLAN network name. The Modify Network Name window is
displayed, as shown in Figure 99.
