> [@jack](#): > > The link consistently shows “route10”. (Not sure what that’s for. I’m guessing that has more meaning when there are other Alta Labs equipment installed?) The Link attribute/column shows which Network device a Device is connected to. So, Link=Route10 may or may not be the right thing to show for other brands of switches and APs. Either it shows wrong because it believes it is directly attached to the Route10, or it shows correct (by design) because it is the nearest upstream Alta network device?! The wired devices in @richardvaughan’s case showed Port=_L_x and several devices on the same ports. I assumed the letter _L_ in the Port meant a port on the Route10 while ports on Alta switches was number only. That’s how it works for all my devices attached to Alta Network devices. I don’t have any other branded managed switch in the network currently to check what that would look like. > [@jack](#): > > The channel/port - when it shows - shows the correct port. My bet was that your devices’ Ports were actually wrong as well when the VLANs were wrong, while the Ports were correct (blank) when the VLANs were correct. At least, that was my thought according to > [@jack](#): > > Looks like the same problem richardvaughan is seeing. and the GIF in > [@VLANs Switching on Route 10 Devices page](https://forum.alta.inc/t/vlans-switching-on-route-10-devices-page/4707/1): > > If you watch the provided video(GIF) you will see other VLANs exist and the VLANs keep switching between the correct and incorrect vlans such as 11,13 etc. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.alta.inc/t/vlan-id-is-sometimes-displayed-wrong-under-devices/4441)._
