Using the Web Device Manager
CHAPTER 4
Web Device Manager
Configuring VLANs
VLANs provide a way to create a logical network grouping without regard
to physical location of the network nodes.
For more information about VLANs, see “Virtual LANs” in Chapter 2.
There are two main steps to set up a VLAN with the Web Device Manager:
• Set the switch’s VLAN operation mode.
• Configure the type of VLAN you selected.
To set the switch’s VLAN operation mode
1 Click the Configure VLAN menu, and then click VLAN Operation
Mode.
2 In the Current VLAN mode box, click the type of VLAN to set up.
3 Click Submit.
4 The switch automatically reboots. The 470 switches are rebooted
whenever you change their VLAN operation mode.
After the switch reboots, you can configure the type of VLAN that you
selected.
NOTE
You can only have one operation
mode active on the switch at a
time.
