Configure VLAN Settings

Administrators can configure the VLAN discovery mode. If the mode is automatic, a time interval for running VLAN must be set.

➢

To configure VLAN:

1.

Navigate to ‘Modify network’ (see Modify IP Network Settings) and select VLAN Settings.

2.

Select the requested VLAN Discovery mode, then tap OK:

●

Disabled (no VLAN)

●

Manual configuration

●

Automatic configuration through:

◆

CDP (Cisco Discovery Protocol), which is a proprietary Data Link Layer protocol

◆

LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol), which is a standard layer 2 discovery protocol

◆

Both CDP and LLDP

3.

If you selected an automatic configuration, set the requested periodic VLAN Interval between CDP/LLDP advertisements. Default is 30 seconds.

You can increase or decrease the intervals between the CDP/LLDP packets that are sent, based on network traffic and topology.
