VLAN Groups
The 16 VLAN groups are identified by a number (vlan1, vlan2, etc ) and
a corresponding button, as shown in Figure 5-2.
Figure 5-2 VLAN groups
The VLAN group button is used to select the VLAN group for manage-
ment. It is also used as a place to “drop” a port number.
See “Viewing Statistics for a VLAN Group” on page 5-12 and “Creating
VLAN Groups” on page 5-5 for more information
VLAN Ports
Each of the switch’s ports are identified by a port button. The port but-
ton contains a group number and a port number. (The group number
represents the device — in this case the SuperStack II Switch 1000 —
and is always labeled “1”).
Each port button also has a corresponding real-time LED status box,
which displays activity on the port.

You can drag and drop a port button onto a VLAN group button to re-
assign the port to a VLAN group. See “Creating VLAN Groups” on
