Deleting A Vlan; Refreshing The Component Tree - Extreme Networks EPICenter Reference Manual

Using the VLAN Manager

Deleting a VLAN

Users with Administrator or Manager access can delete VLANs from Extreme Networks switches
managed by the EPICenter software. If you have only Monitor access, you cannot use this function.
To delete a VLAN, follow these steps:
1 Click the Delete button in the VLAN Manager Toolbar.
The Delete VLAN dialog is displayed, as shown in
Figure 161: The Delete VLAN page
2 Select the VLAN you want to delete.
3 Click Delete.
The VLAN is deleted from all the switches on which it exists. If any of the switches in the VLAN are
offline or unreachable, the VLAN cannot be deleted completely, and remains with only those
switches as members.
4 Click Close to exit the window.
NOTE
When you delete a VLAN, it is not immediately removed from the "By VLAN" Component Tree, even though it has
been deleted from all switches. It can remain in the Component Tree, with no device members, for up to 24 hours
before EPICenter removes it. You can use the Refresh command to update the Component Tree and remove any
VLANs that are no longer exist on any switches.

Refreshing the Component Tree

When you delete a VLAN, EPICenter removes the VLAN from all switches on which it exists, but may
not remove the VLAN entry from the VLAN Manager Component Tree for as long as 24 hours. The
