Using the VLAN Viewer

The VLAN Viewer is a pop-up browser window that provides table rows listing several basic characteristics of a selected virtual LAN interface, including all switches that terminate the VLAN.

Most of the key information about a VLAN appears in the top section of the Viewer, including the Root Bridge, the root bridge priority and ID, and its configured Max Age, Hello Time, and Bridge FWD Delay values.

Important table data columns include the Priority field, the Bridge Address, and a Timers field showing the status of spanning tree timers for VLAN switching.

See Viewing Active VLANs and VLAN Configuration for more details about VLAN settings displayed in the Device Viewer and the VLAN Viewer.
