Configuring NSNA for each VLAN using EDM

ImportantImportant

VLANs that you plan to configure as NSNA VLANs must be empty (that is, no port members assigned to VLANs). NSNA VLANs cannot be associated with non-NSNA ports.

Use the following procedure to configure the NSNA VLANs.

Prerequisites

  • Open one of the supported browsers.

  • Enter the IP address of the switch to open an EDM session.

Procedure steps

  1. In the navigation tree, double-click VLAN.

  2. In the VLAN tree, double-click VLANs.

  3. Create the VLANs that you want to configure as NSNA VLANs.

    For more information about creating the VLANs, see Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch 5000 Series Configuration — VLANs, Spanning Tree, and MultiLink Trunking, NN47200-502.

    After you create a VLAN, the VLAN information appears in the Basic tab of the VLAN dialog box.

  4. In the work area, click the NSNA tab.

  5. In the table, double-click the cell under the FilterSetName field for each VLAN to enter the filter set name of your choice.

  6. In the toolbar, click Apply.

    ImportantImportant

    Each switch must have only one, Red VLAN. Each switch can, however, have multiple Yellow, multiple Green, and multiple VoIP VLANs. Each Ethernet Routing Switch 5000 Series supports up to five Yellow, five Green, and five VoIP VLANs. If IP Phones are intended for use in the system, create the VoIP VLAN first and then create the Red, Green, and Yellow VLANs.
