Domain Information

This window gives information about the VLAN domain on the switch:

VLAN mode
Stand-alone or Distributed (to distribute a configuration to several devices). If you have inserted an ATM Module in your device, it is not possible to use distributed VLANs.

Domain name
To ensure the VLAN only runs on selected switches, it is given a domain name. The domain name is used as an authentication check in the inter-switch packets on the Switch VLAN Link (SVL).
The domain identifies the coverage of the VLAN configuration both the VLAN-mappings and configuration protocols. By giving the same domain name to all the switches, they will all follow the same policies.
The domain name is defined in VLAN/Routing Setup.
