This window appears when you choose VLAN > VLAN Membership on the
menu bar. It has three tabs:
- Assign VLANs, for assigning interfaces to a
VLAN and specifying what types of interfaces they are

on the Front Panel view.

type, restricting VLAN membership, and disabling pruning
Begin by selecting a device from the Host Name list. The tabs will show
the interfaces and VLANs on the selected device and their settings.
This tab identifies:
