6.13.3 Notes

• AT-9400 L3 Models: The current firmware version does not allow the VLAN

Manager to distinguish Protected VLANs. As a result, VLAN Manager will display
and treat Protected VLANs as if they were standard Port-based VLAN or Mac-

based VLAN depending on the type of existing VLAN prior to Protected VLAN.
Furthermore, modifying a Protected VLAN will convert that VLAN into a standard

Port-based VLAN or Mac-based VLAN depending also on the type of existing
VLAN prior to modified Protected VLAN.

Ex.

In CLI, VLAN record#1 is a Port-based VLAN and VLAN record#2 is a

Protected VLAN. In VLAN Manager, VLAN record#2 will be displayed as

standard Port-based VLAN. Furthermore, modifying VLAN record#2 will be
converted into a standard Port-based VLAN.

In CLI, VLAN record#7 is a Mac-based VLAN and VLAN record#8 is a

Protected VLAN. In VLAN Manager, VLAN record#8 will be displayed as

standard Mac -based VLAN. Furthermore, modifying VLAN record#2 will be
converted into a standard Mac-based VLAN.

• An uplink port must be specified to change the VLAN Mode to "Multiple VLAN"

or to "802.1Q Multiple VLAN". Specifying an incorrect port as the uplink port will
cause VLAN Manager to lose connection with the device without any warning.

Exercise caution.

• AT-9400 L2 Models: The current firmware version does not allow VLAN Manager

to distinguish Protected VLANs, Mac-based VLANs and standard Port-based

VLANs from each other. As a result, VLAN Manager will display and treat

Protected VLANs and Mac-based VLANs as if they were standard Port-based

VLANs. Furthermore, modifying a Protected VLAN or a Mac-based VLAN will
convert that VLAN into a standard Port-based VLAN.
