Efficient management of Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) requires highly-skilled administrators. We propose a network administration aid for visualizing VLAN configuration using Augmented Reality (AR). When an administrator simply looks at a real switch device in a machine room, the proposed system acquires the up-to-date configuration information about the observing switch. Then, the system graphically superimposes the information close to the switch. It assists even less-experienced administrators to easily find and grasp the VLAN configuration and enables them to perform basic maintenance tasks all by themselves.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
