The VLAN attributes page allows additional configurations to be defined on a per VLAN
basis within a network policy. VLAN attributes are applied when the VLAN is defined
within an assigned port type or when the VLAN deployment option is enabled. If
dynamic VLANs are utilized, then the VLAN deployment option can enabled within the
VLAN attributes page to apply VLAN settings. A VLAN defined within Instant Port
Profiles as Non-Forwarding will not apply VLAN attributes.
The VLAN Attributes page shows six columns:
- VLAN ID - The numerical identification number of the VLAN
- VLAN Name - The name of the VLAN
- IGMP Snooping VLAN Settings - Allows the switches to identify ports to which
multicast group member hosts are attached in order to optimize the
distribution of multicast traffic
- DHCP Snooping VLAN Settings - Enables snooping of DHCP packets and creates a
DHCP bindings database of IP to MAC addresses for this VLAN
- VLAN Deployment - Allows VLAN and VLAN attributes to be created on switches
when no port types are assigned with the defined VLAN
- Used By - How many devices use this VLAN
