VLAN Network Topology

Note: Only VLANs with a spanning tree root that is managed by NetMRI can be viewed in the appliance.

In the network view menu, VLAN shows the spanning tree that a given VLAN uses on the network.

  1. In the left panel, click VLAN.
  2. In the left panel, click the VLAN you are interested in.

In the resulting topology chart, the root bridge is displayed at the top and the leaf nodes are displayed below. Active and disabled links are indicated in the chart. The farther the distance from the root bridge, the higher the cost in the L3 VLAN path. All possible connections are shown, including disabled ones. Spanning tree port blocking is indicated by a gray X at the end of a connection. If a port shows an error, it is indicated by a red X.

Note: VLANs can have identical names as long as the root bridge is different.

— To modify the view: Click the Refine View button above the graph.
VLAN graphs cannot be filtered by device group names in the Select Device Groups panel.
