Configure VLAN and Static Route

VLAN and Static Route configuration is supported in IPv4+v6 network mode (the default) and IPv6-only mode.

Enable VLAN on LAN (Native/Default VLANs)

The native VLAN interface is configured with DHCP settings by default. If you want static VLAN settings, make sure you have already enabled and saved the static IP config on the LAN before continuing.

Perform the following steps to enable VLAN on LAN:

  1. Access the Scanner Console.
  2. Select Set up network (LAN) and then Enable VLAN on LAN if you have connected the LAN interface to a 802.1q trunked port and need your virtual scanner to use VLAN tags on the LAN default network.
  3. Enter the VLAN tag number (1-4094) you want to use.

    Enter VLAN tag number

Configure VLANs and Static Routes in Qualys Enterprise TruRisk™ Platform

Configuring VLANs and static routes is supported for all virtual scanner distributions, except cloud platforms like Amazon EC2/VPC, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform.

Perform the following steps to configure VLANs and Static routes in Qualys Enterprise TruRisk™ Platform:

  1. Log in to Qualys Enterprise TruRisk™ Platform and go to the VM/VMDR.
  2. Go to Scans > Appliances and edit the appliance settings.
    Up to 4094 VLANs and static routes can be added to each virtual scanner appliance as long as you use the latest distribution.

If you have deployed the latest virtual scanner using scanner image qVSA-2.0.13-1 or later, you have the latest version. (If you have an older version, you can add up to 99 VLANs and static routes.)

If you cannot see the settings, the VLAN trunking feature must be turned on for your account. Contact Support or your Technical Account Representative if you want us to turn it on for you.
