<table><thead><tr><th width="203">Keyword</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>no</td><td>(Optional) Restores the default setting of the visible attribute.</td></tr><tr><td>id</td><td>The VPN identifier. Must be a number in the range 0-1022 or the keyword "auto".</td></tr><tr><td><code>off</code></td><td>The VPN is not visible to the Island's management plane.</td></tr><tr><td><code>on</code></td><td>The VPN is visible to the Island's management plane.</td></tr></tbody></table>

## Defaults

A VPN is not visible to the Island's management plane by default.

## Usage Guidelines

This command allows a VPN to be visible to the Island's management plane. Traffic originating from the Island itself can then be routed over the VPN, subject to the VPN's routing table entries.

Traffic originating from the management plane include, but is not limited to, services such as firmware updates, NTP, DNS, CLI ssh and telnet commands, etc.

If a VPN exists with the specified identifier, the existing VPN will be modified; otherwise, a new VPN with the specified identifier will be created. If "auto" is specified for the identifier, a new VPN will be created using the next available identifier.

## Examples

```
vpn peer 2 visible on
```
