Information
You can display a summary of VLAN information or a detailed report. When
you display a summary, you receive information about the protocols and
ports assigned to each VLAN plus the layer 3 addresses used to manage
flood domains for overlapping IP subnets. The detailed VLAN report includes
the summary information plus additional utilization statistics.
From the top level of the Administration Console, enter:
bridge vlan summary
or
bridge vlan detail
The VLAN information is displayed in the format you specified.
