Using the VLAN Manager
This chapter describes how to use the VLAN Manager for:
• Viewing enterprise-wide, tagged and untagged VLAN information for Extreme
(Summit and BlackDiamond) switches managed by the ExtremeWare Enterprise
Manager
• Adding new tagged or untagged VLANs to Extreme devices, adding ports to those
VLANs, and modifying IP addresses
• Deleting VLANs
• Modifying VLANs
• Adding and deleting protocol filters

VERVIEW OF
A Virtual LAN is a group of location- and topology-independent devices that
communicate as if they were on the same physical local area network (LAN). Extreme
switches have a VLAN feature that enables you to construct broadcast domains without
being restricted by physical connections.
The VLAN Manager creates and manages VLAN for Extreme Networks devices only. It
does not handle other third-party devices, even though some third-party devices (Cisco
and Xedia devices as of ExtremeWare Enterprise Manager 2.0) can be managed through
the Inventory Manager.
