Configuring VSDs

Use the VSD Add/Modify window to add or modify a VLAN Secure Domain (VSD). 

Adding a VSD

Procedure:

Step Action
1 In the VSD Add/Modify window, enter a name for the VSD, for example, math_dept.   A name can be composed of up to 32 ASCII-printable characters, except a question mark (?), must not include spaces, and must contain at least one alphabetic character. The name assigned must be unique.  You cannot create another VSD on the same line card using the same name.

Assigning a name to a VSD is optional.

2

Enter a list of bridge ports you want to assign to the VSD. You can list the ports individually by separating each with a comma (for example, 1,2,3,4,5) or you can enter a range of ports by separating the first and last port numbers in the range with a hyphen (for example, 1-5). You can also combine a list of individual entries with a range of entries (for example, 1-4, 6,7). Spaces are not permitted between port numbers and the comma or a hyphen.

Assigning a port list is optional. If you do not want to assign a port list, you can specify none or leave the field blank.
