The MultiSwitch 700 Device View
2-64 Managing the Module
Refer to your device’s Local Management documentation for instructions on
activating a device’s 802.1Q operational mode via Local Management. For details
on the Mib Tools application, refer to your Tools Guide.
To set up your 802.1Q port-based VLANs using NetSight Element Manager, you
must first define the desired VLANs using the VLAN Config window
(
Figure 2-26 ), which allows you to assign VLAN IDs and optional VLAN names,
and enable or disable VLANs.
After your VLANs are defined, you may configure the ingress and egress lists for
each port using the VLAN Port Config window (
Figure 2-27 ) and the VLAN
Egress Port Config window ( Figure 2-28 ), respectively.
Setting VLAN Parameters and Operational Modes
802.1Q VLANs are defined using the VLAN Config window, which is accessed
from the Device menu in your switch’s Device View. To launch the window:
1. Click on Device in the Device View menu bar to display the Device menu.
2. Click on 802.1Q VLAN and then right to select 802.1Q VLAN Config. The
VLAN Config window,
Figure 2-26 , opens.

CAUTION
For older versions of MultiSwitch 700 firmware, if 802.1Q is to be utilized it may be
required that all modules in the chassis be configured to operate in 802.1Q mode. If you
attempt to activate a MultiSwitch 700 module’s 802.1Q component via the Mib Tools
application, you may lose contact with the rest of the chassis once the device resets. For
this reason, we recommend that Local Management be used to activate 802.1Q mode for
MultiSwitch 700 modules.
