Configure VLAN Settings

Create a user profile that will use these VLAN settings.

Although you can manage VLANs from Common Objects, it is recommended that you configure them inside a network policy workflow.

Use these steps to configure VLAN settings:

  1. Select the add icon.
  2. Enter the name of the new VLAN or VLAN group.
  3. Enter the default VLAN for this VLAN profile.

    Typically, the default VLAN is 1. If you are assigning a VLAN group to this profile, select an existing group from the drop-down list, or select the plus sign to create a new VLAN group. For more information about adding a new VLAN Group, see Add a VLAN Group.

  4. Select the Apply VLAN to devices for classification check box to create VLANs that you can apply to specific devices based on their location.
  5. Select the plus sign.
  6. Enter the new VLAN ID.
  7. Select Add to add the it to the VLAN table.
  8. Under Classification Rules in the VLAN table, select an existing classification rule, or select the add icon to add a new rule.
  9. Select Link.
  10. Enter a name for the classification rule.

    For easier tracking, you might want to add the locations and device models using this VLAN classification rule (for example, VLAN-AP230-Sunnyvale).

  11. Enter an optional description.
  12. Select the plus sign to choose the device location.
  13. Assign your VLAN profile based on the location of managed devices.

    Note

    When selecting a location, drill down to the level where the devices are located. For example, if the devices are located on the floor of a building, select that specific floor.
  14. Choose Select.
  15. Select Save VLAN.

Complete the user profile configuration.
