or become familiar with some basic commands, which is after all, our job... on hp: show port vlan e1, which will show you all the vlans port E1 is a member of..
True if you happen to be logged on to the device. What I had in mind was reading config files which is an exercise I happen to have been doing recently. I can look at the config file for a Cisco unit and determine easily which ports are in which vlans by looking at the port config. Some other vendors I must parse the vlan config for port numbers. So yeah, on a Brocade unit one can do sho vlan <interface> if you are logged on to it and other vendors have their way. It isn't that big of an issue but if I could have a perfect world, I would rather specify vlans per interface than interfaces per vlan. G
