Searching the Help
To search for information in the Help, type a word or phrase in the Search box. When you enter a group of words, OR is inferred. You can use Boolean operators to refine your search.
Results returned are case insensitive. However, results ranking takes case into account and assigns higher scores to case matches. Therefore, a search for "cats" followed by a search for "Cats" would return the same number of Help topics, but the order in which the topics are listed would be different.
Search for | Example | Results |
---|---|---|
A single word | cat
|
Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats". |
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase. |
"cat food" (quotation marks) |
Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase. |
Search for | Operator | Example |
---|---|---|
Two or more words in the same topic |
|
|
Either word in a topic |
|
|
Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase |
|
|
Topics that contain one string and do not contain another | ^ (caret) |
cat ^ mouse
|
A combination of search types | ( ) parentheses |

VLAN Form
[This is the Context-Sensitive Help topic for the VLAN form.]
The VLAN form provides details about the selected virtual local area network, and lists all ports known to participate in this VLAN.
Note the following:
- A trunk port can participate in multiple VLANs.
- Only the objects to which you have access are visible from the form.
For information about each tab: See Also
(NNMi Advanced - Global Network Management feature) There might be slight differences between the VLAN information shown on Regional Managers and Global Managers, because the VLAN calculations use Layer 2 Connections data.
The following attributes always appear on the VLAN form, whether you access that form from the VLAN view or from a VLAN Port form's tab.
Attribute | Description |
---|---|
Global VLAN Name |
VLAN connections are determined by a common VLAN Id. The name assigned to that VLAN can be designated by each participating Node\Interface's configuration settings for that VLAN Id. Therefore, NNMi chooses a VLAN name for this value (from potentially many names for the same VLAN Id): Global VLAN Name = NNMi uses the lowest sort-order name from all available names designated by member Nodes. If you see an attribute named Local VLAN Name = the VLAN name assigned by the configuration settings on the currently selected Node\Interface. |
VLAN Id |
The identification value for the current VLAN. This value is taken directly from the MIB file provided by the Vendor. |
The following attributes display only when displaying information about a row in the VLAN view.
Attribute | Description |
---|---|
Member Node [Interface] |
NNMi selects a representative Member Node and Member Interface for the current VLAN. These members help to distinguish VLANs that use the same identification number. NNMi selects the Member Node using the following criteria:
NNMi selects the Member Interface using the following criteria:
|
Member Node Count | Specifies the number of nodes that belong to the current VLAN. |
Ports Tab
[This is the Context-Sensitive Help topic for the VLAN form.]
A trunk port can participate in multiple VLANs.
The VLAN Form provides details about the selected VLAN.
For information about each tab: See Also
Attribute | Description |
---|---|
Ports |
Table view of the ports associated with the selected VLAN. Use this table to access information about each port associated with the selected VLAN across all member devices. Double-click the row representing a Port. The Port Form displays all details about the selected Port. |
