A VLAN probe helps you locate available VLANs for devices in a complex network with
multiple VLANs.

want to locate available VLANs.
-
Select VLAN
Probe.
-
Enter the start and end of a range of VLAN IDs to probe.
You can enter up to five ranges, however, range numbers cannot overlap.
-
Define how many probes to send
(up to 10) on each VLAN.
-
Specify how long to wait for a reply from each probe.
You can set a timeout from 1 to
60 seconds.

-
Select Clear to clear entries for a probe.
When the VLAN probe is complete, a display shows whether the probed VLANs are
available for use, and if so, their subnet.
