When you launch VlanDirector from the CWSI map window, VlanDirector adds options to the Map Highlighting box in the CWSI map window. The VLAN option allows you to display information about a selected VLAN. If you have an ATM network, the LANE option allows you to display information about your ATM devices. Figure 6-1 shows the CWSI map window with the VLAN and LANE map highlighting options.
Click on a VLAN name in the Names window to display devices and links that belong to the selected VLAN in the CWSI map window. You can select multiple VLANs by pressing Ctrl and clicking on the VLAN names.
Click the & button in the VlanDirector toolbar to display all members of the VLANs selected in the Names window. Click the / button to display only common members of the VLANs selected in the Names window.
The VLAN is displayed in the color that it was assigned when it was created.
To display additional information about a VLAN using the VLAN map highlighting option, take the following steps:
Step 1 Select a VLAN in the Names window in VlanDirector.
The VLAN is highlighted in its assigned color on the CWSI map and the name of the VLAN appears next to the VLAN option in the Map Highlighting box.
Step 2 Click the plus sign next display additional options.
Step 3 Click the check box next to any option to highlight those elements for the selected VLAN on the CWSI map. See Table 6-1 for descriptions of the highlight options and suboptions.
