the VLAN bridge determines the associated VLAN based on the port of reception. Using forwarding database information, the
Bridge VLAN forwards the data frame on the appropriate port(s). VLAN's are useful to set separate networks to isolate some
computers from others, without actually having to have separate cabling and Ethernet switches.
To define a bridge VLAN configuration or override for a device profile:
1. Select
Devices
from the Configuration tab.
2. Select
Device Overrides
3. Select a target device from the device browser in the lower, left-hand, side of the UI.
4. Select
Network
to expand its sub menu options.
5. Select
Bridge
VLAN.
NOTE: A blue override icon (to the left of a parameter) defines the parameter as having
an override applied. To remove an override, go to the Basic Configuration screen's
Device Overrides
from the device.
6. Review the following VLAN configuration parameters to determine whether an override is warranted:

Lists the numerical identifier defined for the Bridge VLAN when it was initially created.
The available range is from 1 - 4094. This value cannot be modified during the edit
process.
Lists a 64 character maximum description of the VLAN assigned when it was created or
modified. The description should be unique to the VLAN's specific configuration and
help differentiate it from other VLANs with similar configurations.
Defines whether the VLAN is currently in edge VLAN mode. An edge VLAN is the VLAN
where hosts are connected. For example, if VLAN 10 is defined with wireless clients
and VLAN 20 is where the default gateway resides, VLAN 10 should be marked as an
edge VLAN and VLAN 20 shouldn't be marked as an edge VLAN. When defining a VLAN
as edge VLAN, the firewall enforces additional checks on hosts in that VLAN. For
example, a host cannot move from an edge VLAN to another VLAN and still keep
firewall flows active.
