2. Points of Caution

  • If a switch of a different manufacturer is connected below a manager, the manager will be unable to recognize the corresponding device, and the topology will therefore not be displayed. If communication from the terminal becomes impossible even though the tag VLAN settings are correct, it might be that a switch made by another manufacturer which is blocking VLAN tagged frames is connected below the manager.

  • If a Yamaha switch of a model that cannot be determined is connected below the manager, it might be that the VLAN tagged frames cannot pass through that device, depending on the settings of that device.

  • Configurations that include MST instances in the spanning tree are not supported.

3. Tag VLAN page structure

3.1. Button

  • add "New" button

    Create a new VLAN group.
    In order to join a port to a VLAN group, the VLAN group must first be created.

  • refresh "Refresh display" button

    Obtain topology information and VLAN settings information, and redraw the tag VLAN group list and the topology.
    Depending on the number of agent units, it may take several seconds to several tens of seconds for the agent VLAN settings information to be reflected.

3.2. Tag VLAN group list

Display the list of VLAN groups that are registered to the manager, and the list of VLAN groups that the agent ports have joined.
However, the list does not show private VLANs or VLAN groups for which frame forwarding is disabled.
The port color is assigned to each VLAN group.

3.3. Topology

The topology starting at the manager is shown in the lower part of the screen.
By noting the color of the port, you can determine the VLAN group to which it is joined.

4. Make tag VLAN group settings

4.1. Create new

To create a new VLAN group, press the add "New" button.
The following settings can be made.

Item name Description

VLAN-ID

Set the ID of the VLAN.

Name

You can assign a name to the VLAN ID.

After input, press the "OK" button to register the VLAN group.

4.2. Change settings

If you want to change the VLAN group settings, press the "Settings" button located in the column at the right of the "Tag VLAN group list".
You can edit the name setting.

4.3. Register

If an agent port is joined to a VLAN group that is not registered to a manager, it is shown as an "Unknown" VLAN group in "Tag VLAN group list".
By pressing the "Register" button located in the column at the right of "Tag VLAN group list", you can register a VLAN group to a manager.

4.4. Delete

If you want to delete a VLAN group, press the "Delete" button located in the column at the right of the "Tag VLAN group list".
Then press the "OK" button to delete the settings of the specified VLAN group and also delete the settings of the VLAN group that is applied to the agent.

5. Join a tag VLAN group

To select an agent port within the topology, press the "Select joined port" button in the right column of "Tag VLAN group list".

The color of the port indicates the setting status of the VLAN group.

The following is a depiction of when the port color is set to center port icon vlan on vlan color 0afad0 for a VLAN group when selecting the joined ports.

LAN SFP QSFP28 Description

center port icon vlan on vlan color 0afad0

center sfp icon vlan color 0afad0

center qsfp icon vlan color 0afad0

This is an access port that is joined to the specified VLAN group.

center port icon vlan on port icon down

center sfp icon sfp icon down

center qsfp icon qsfp icon down

This is an access port that is joined to the default VLAN group.

port inside port icon port icon vlan unselect

port inside sfp icon sfp icon vlan unselect

port inside qsfp icon qsfp icon vlan unselect

This is an access port that is joined to the other VLAN group.
To determine the joined VLAN group, note the color of the port that is assigned in "Tag VLAN group list".

port inside port icon port icon vlan unselect port icon vlan trunk

port inside sfp icon sfp icon vlan unselect vlan color 0afad0

port inside qsfp icon qsfp icon vlan unselect vlan color 0afad0

This is a trunk port or hybrid port. This is joined to the specified VLAN group.

center port icon vlan on

center sfp icon sfp icon down sfp icon vlan trunk

center qsfp icon qsfp icon down qsfp icon vlan trunk

This is a trunk port or hybrid port. This is not joined to the specified VLAN group.

When you select a port, the color of the port changes, allowing you to join it to the specified VLAN group.
By re-selecting a port, you can un-join it.
When operating the VLAN join status of the port that belongs to the logical interface, the same settings will be applied to all ports belonging to the same logical interface.
After selecting the port, press the "Confirm" button to apply the settings.
* If a Yamaha switch of a model that cannot be determined is connected, it might be that the VLAN tagged frames cannot pass through that device, depending on the settings of that device.

  • Automatically joining uplink ports and downlink ports

    If you join a port to a VLAN group, the port that connects from the manager to the corresponding agent (uplink/downlink) will automatically be either a trunk port or a hybrid port.

  • Constraints when joining a VLAN group

    The following restrictions apply when configuring the SWX2300 Series, the SWX2310 Series, the SWX2310P Series, the SWR2310 Series, the SWR2311P Series, the SWX3100 Series, the SWX3200 Series, the SWX2320 Series, the SWX2322P Series, and the SWX3220 Series.

    • If the specified VLAN group is used as a private VLAN by an agent, a port of the corresponding agent cannot be joined to the specified VLAN group.

    • If a port is specified as a private VLAN’s promiscuous port, or as a host port, settings for that port cannot be made.

    • If a port is used by the link aggregation function, settings for that port cannot be made. (For the SWX2300 Series only)

      Also, you cannot change the stack port settings for devices in a stack configuration.

6. Show tag VLAN group settings

In "Tag VLAN group list", colors are assigned to the ports for each VLAN group.
By noting the color of an agent port in the topology, you can see the VLAN group to which it is joined.

Examples are shown below.

LAN SFP QSFP28 Description

center port icon vlan on vlan color 0afad0

center sfp icon vlan color 0afad0

center qsfp icon vlan color 0afad0

This is an access port that is joined to a VLAN group other than the default VLAN.
To determine the joined VLAN group, note the color of the port that is assigned in "Tag VLAN group list".

center port icon vlan on vlan color ffffff

center sfp icon vlan color ffffff

center qsfp icon vlan color ffffff

This is a trunk port or hybrid port.

center port icon vlan on port icon down

center sfp icon sfp icon down

center qsfp icon qsfp icon down

This is an access port that is joined to the default VLAN group.

You can also check the tag VLAN group settings from the tool tip that appears when you mouse-over.
The items shown in the tool tip are as follows.

  • Port number

    • For logical interfaces, the logical interface name and the numbers of all ports belonging to the logical interface will be shown.

    • saX is the name of the logical interface for a static link aggregation.

    • poX is the name of the LACP virtual interface.

  • Port type ( Access, Trunk, Hybrid )

  • VLAN group joined

The following is supplementary information regarding the settings for the SWX2300 Series, the SWX2310 Series, the SWX2310P Series, the SWR2310 Series, the SWR2311P Series, the SWX3100 Series, the SWX3200 Series, the SWX2320 Series, the SWX2322P Series, and the SWX3220 Series.

  • About native VLAN

    The uplink/downlink ports are the trunk ports, and the default VLAN is specified as the native VLAN. If the frame received by the trunk port is untagged, the native VLAN is the VLAN group joined by untagged frames.

  • About promiscuous ports and host ports of a private VLAN

    If the port is specified as a private VLAN’s promiscuous port or a host port, the port type in the tool tip is shown as "Private," and the joined VLAN group is not shown.
