VLAN settings

The general VLAN settings and the VLAN settings for the Onboard Administrator are configured from the VLAN Settings tab. Settings for the Device and Interconnect bays are configured from the Device Bays and Interconnect Bays tabs. After changes are made on any of these three tabs, the VLAN Control tab displays. After the VLAN Control tab displays, you can save the settings or revert to the previous settings.

The revert delay on the VLAN Settings tab is used to schedule a reversion of the settings to what has currently been saved on the Onboard Administrator. This can be used if you are administering the settings remotely and become disconnected. If you incorrectly configure the VLAN settings and become disconnected, the Onboard Administrator VLAN settings revert back to the previous state before you connected.
