Viewing the LAN > VLAN Tab

To navigate to the VLAN tab in the Switch dashboard, complete the following steps:

  1. In the Network Operations app, set the filter to one of the options under Groups, Labels, or Sites. For all devices, set the filter to Global. Ensure that the filter selected contains at least one active switch.

    The dashboard context for the selected filter is displayed.

  2. Under Manage, click Devices > Switches.

    A list of switches is displayed in the List view.

  3. Click a switch listed under Device Name.

    The dashboard context for the specific switch is displayed.

  4. Under Manage, click LANVLAN.

    The VLAN tab is displayed.

  5. To exit the Switch dashboard, click the back arrow on the filter.

    You can change the time range for the VLAN tab by clicking the time range filter and selecting one of the available options: 3 hours, 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, or 3 months.

VLANs

The VLANs table displays the following details:

The Type, Primary VLAN, Promiscuos, ISL, and Jumbo columns are not displayed for AOS-CX switches.

  • Name—Displays the name of the VLAN. Click the sort icon to sort the VLAN names in the column.
  • ID—Displays the VLAN ID associated with the VLAN.
  • Status—Displays the status of the VLAN as Up or Down.
  • Type—Displays the following types of VLANs:
    • Regular VLAN—A regular VLAN is a single broadcast domain.
    • Private-Primary—The regular VLAN which partitions one broadcast domain into multiple smaller broadcast sub-domains.
    • Private-isolated—Secondary VLAN that carries unidirectional traffic upstream from the hosts toward the promiscuous ports.
    • Private-Community—Secondary VLAN that forwards traffic between ports which belong to the same community and to the promiscuous ports.
  • Primary VLANDisplays the primary VLAN details.
  • Promiscuous—Displays the promiscuous port value. A promiscuous port is a switch port that is connected to an uplink router, firewall, or other common gateway device, and can communicate with all ports within a private VLAN, including the ports in the isolated and community VLANs. By default, every primary VLAN port acts as a promiscuous port.
  • ISL—Displays the Inter-switch Link (ISL) port value (range). ISL port is also called PVLAN member port. ISL port is required in multi-switch PVLAN configurations to span the switches. The ISL port will automatically become a member of all VLANs within the PVLAN and it carries traffic from the primary VLAN and all secondary VLANs.
  • Tagged Ports—Displays the ports that have marked the VLAN as tagged.
  • Untagged Ports—Displays the ports that have marked the VLAN as untagged.
  • IP address—Displays the IP address of the VLAN.
  • Voice—Displays whether the Voice is enabled or disabled for the VLAN.
  • IGMP—Displays whether the IGMP is enabled or disabled for the VLAN.
  • Jumbo—Displays whether the Jumbo packets are enabled or disabled for the VLAN.

Faceplate

From the VLANs table, select a VLAN to view the tagged and untagged ports, promiscuous port, ISL port, and the VLAN types in the faceplate.

Actions

The Actions tab displays the various options available for remote administration of the switch. The following options are available:

  • Reboot—Reboots the switch. See Rebooting Switches.
  • Tech Support—Allows the administrators to generate a tech support dump for troubleshooting the device. See Troubleshooting Aruba Switches.
  • Console—Opens the remote console for a CLI session through SSH. Ensure that you allow SSH over port 443. The default user ID is admin, but you can edit and customize the user ID. This custom user ID must be mapped to the device. See Opening Remote Console for Switch.

For AOS-CX 8320 and 8325 switch series, you must enable SSH server on the default VRF. Add the ssh server vrf default code to the template.
