A VLAN probe helps you locate available VLANs for devices in a complex network with
multiple VLANs.
-
Select the device for which you
want to locate available VLANs.
-
Select VLAN Probe from
the Utilities menu.
-
Enter the start and end of a range of VLAN IDs to probe.
You can enter up to
five ranges separated by commas, up to a total range of 12, however, range
numbers cannot overlap. For example, 1,2-7,8,9-12.
-
Specify how long to wait for a reply from each probe.
You can set a
timeout from 5 to 60 seconds.
-
Select Start to start a probe.
-
Select Stop to stop a probe before it is complete.
-
Select Clear to clear entries for a probe.
When the VLAN probe is complete, a table shows the host name, MAC address, available
VLANs, unavailable VLANs, and their status.
