Viewing Mobile Groups and AutoTracker VLANs
You can view the current status of all mobile groups or AutoTracker VLANs in the switch
using the atvl command. Enter atvl and a table similar to the following displays.
VLAN VLAN VLAN Admin Operational
Group : Id Description Status Status
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6 New Mobile Group 6 Enabled Active
8 New Mobile Group 8 Enabled Active
VLAN Group. The Group to which this AutoTracker VLAN is assigned. The Group is specified
when first creating an AutoTracker VLAN .
VLAN ID . An identification number that you assigned when you created this VLAN . A value will
not display in this column for mobile groups.
VLAN Description. A textual description that you entered to describe a VLAN when you created
or modified it through cratvl or modatvl . This description is limited to 30 characters.
Admin Status. The Administrative Status for the VLAN may be enabled or disabled. You enable
or disable the Administrative Status for a VLAN when you create or modify it. If the VLAN is
enabled, the switch will use the policies you configured to filter traffic to the devices in this
VLAN . If you disable the rule, then policies will not be used, but the parameters you set up for
the VLAN will be saved.
Oper Status. The VLAN is shown as Active or Inactive . In order for an enabled VLAN to become
“active” it must be able to assign a switch port to the VLAN . If the port rule is used for a VLAN ,
then the VLAN automatically becomes active. If any other rule is used ( MAC address, protocol,
etc.), then a frame matching the VLAN rule must first be received by a switch port before the
VLAN is active. So, an Active VLAN requires the following:
• Admin Status must be enabled.
• A port must be assigned to the VLAN through either a port-based rule or by a device trans-
mitting data that matches the VLAN policy.
