Manage VLANs on Scanner

Parameter "set_vlans"

Use the "set_vlans" parameter to set one or more VLANs. The format for a single VLAN is

<VLAN_ID> | <IPv4_ADDRESS> | <NETMASK> | <VLAN_NAME> | ipv6_static or ipv6_auto | <IPv6_ADDRESS> with pipe (|) used as a delimiter.

To skip IPv4 attributes (IPv4 address and netmask), you must include an empty space in place of each attribute. Multiple VLANs can be assigned using a comma separated list.

Attribute	Description
<VLAN_ID>	Customer-defined ID (not assigned by Qualys). Must be in the range 0 to 4096, inclusive.
<IPv4_ADDRESS>	A valid IPv4 IP address (dotted quad), such as 10.10.10.1. Leave empty when specifying an IPv6 address.
<NETMASK>	A valid network mask (dotted quad), such as 255.255.255.0. eave empty when specifying an IPv6 address.
<VLAN_NAME>	A valid name (can be empty). The name can be a maximum of 256 ASCII characters. The character : (colon) is permitted. These characters are not permitted: , (comma), < (less than), > (greater than), " (double quote), & (ampersand), | (pipe), = (equals).
ipv6_static or ipv6_auto	Specify ipv6_static to provide a static IPv6 address. Specify ipv6_auto to auto-configure IPv6 using SLAAC on the VLAN.
<IPv6_ADDRESS>	A valid IPv6 address is required when “ipv6_static” is specified, such as fdd1:0:1:107::500. Leave empty when “ipv6_auto” is specified.
