Reparenting VLANs and VLAN Sub-Interfaces
VLAN Performance Window—Detailed Description
The VLAN Performance window (see Figure 13-24 on page 13-20) displays a single VLAN
Performance tab. The VLAN Performance tab has a single tabular area with the following fields:
VLAN Id—Identifier for the VLAN object.
Packets transmitted—The number of packets transmitted by this VLAN.
Packets Received—The number of packets received by this VLAN.
Note The performance data for the VLAN sub-interfaces can be viewed in the Generic Interface Performance
dialog. Refer “Generic Interface Performance” section on page 10-3 for further information.
Reparenting VLANs and VLAN Sub-Interfaces
After the VLAN synchronization process is completed, all the VLAN objects and their corresponding
sub-interface objects are placed under a single domain called the DefaultDomain. Reparenting allows
you to relocate a VLAN object under a domain or a sub-interface object under a VLAN as per the
requirements.
Caution It is strongly recommended that the user does not move any VLAN related objects out of VLANView.
This could result in unexpected behavior.
Reparenting is basically used to relocate the VLAN and sub-interface objects under different domains
after synchronization.
Note To reparent a sub-interface object under a VLAN, it is mandatory that the vlan id of the parent VLAN
object should be identical. The VLAN object must be placed under a different domain.
For example: Say, you have deployed two domains, D1 and D2. D1 has a VLAN object V1 with
sub-interface E1 placed under it and D2 has a VLAN object V2. It will not be possible to place E1 from
domain D1 under V2 in domain D2 as the VLAN ids of the VLAN objects are different. But, if a VLAN
object is deployed in D2 having id as V1, it would be possible for you to place sub-interface object E1
under V1 in domainD2.
To reparent a VLAN object, proceed as follows:
Step 1 Right click on a VLAN object in the VLAN view and choose View Manipulation>Reparent
Object(s)... . The Reparent dialog can be launched from a VLAN or sub-interface object.
