Add VLAN interfaces to IPS elements

VLANs divide a single physical network link into several virtual links.

You can add up to 4094 VLANs to each physical interface.

CAUTION:
Do not add any manual VLAN definitions to an interface you want to use for sending resets. Adding VLANs prevents selecting the interface as a reset interface and also removes the reset interface from any existing selections.

Steps

  1. In the navigation pane on the left, select Interfaces.
  2. Right-click a physical interface and select New > VLAN Interface.
  3. In the VLAN ID field, enter a VLAN ID number (1-4094).
    Note: The VLAN ID must be the same VLAN ID used in the external switch at the other end of the VLAN trunk.
  4. Click OK.
    The specified VLAN ID is added to the physical interface.
  5. Click Save.
    Do not close the Engine Editor.

Result

The VLAN interface is now ready to be used as a network interface. The VLAN interface is identified as Interface-ID.VLAN-ID, for example 2.100 for interface ID 2 and VLAN ID 100.
