STATUS. The status of a given VLAN interface, the available values are Green if the virtual interface is up and Red if the virtual interface is down.
ACTIONS. The available actions for every interface in the table are the following:

  • Create VLAN. A new VLAN interface needs to be created.
  • Delete. Unset the configuration and remove the VLAN interface.
  • Edit. Change the VLAN configuration like IP address, netmask and gateway.
  • Bring up. Set the interface up and configured to accept traffic.
  • Bring down. Set the interface down and stop accepting traffic.
  • Cluster. No actions are allowed as this interface is used in the cluster service for synchronization and heartbeat processes. In order to modify this interface is required to disable the cluster service.

The actions will be executed in batches in all the selected VLANs through the multiple selection option.
