The Device View

Status

Displays the current status of the selected VLAN: Enabled (active), Disabled (not active), or Other (created but turned off or in the process of being created).

The Port Egress Information table lists the ports whose egress lists contain the selected VLAN. You can use this list to change how frames belonging to the selected VLAN will be forwarded out a port.

Port

Displays the number that identifies the port.

Tagging

Displays whether the port is implementing the 802.1Q VLAN functionality of tagging frames and GVRP (GARP VLAN Registration Protocol).

Current

Displays the current egress state for the port. The egress state specifies how frames belonging to the selected VLAN are forwarded out the port: No Egress (frames will not be transmitted), Tagged (frames will be transmitted as tagged), or Untagged (frames will be transmitted as untagged).

Static

Displays the desired egress state for the port: No Egress (frames will not be transmitted), Tagged (frames will be transmitted as tagged), or Untagged (frames will be transmitted as untagged). Right-mouse click on the port to select the desired egress state from the menu.

Configuring Egress State

To configure the egress state (how frames will be transmitted) for the ports on the module:

1.In the Selected VLAN table at the top of the VLAN Egress Port Configuration window, click to select a VLAN. The ports that contain this VLAN in their egress lists are displayed in the lower portion of the window.

2.In the Port Egress Information list, right-click the desired port, and select the egress state: No Egress (frames will not be transmitted), Tagged (frames will be transmitted as tagged), or Untagged (frames will be transmitted as untagged). To change the egress state for all the ports listed, right-click a port and select All No Egress, All Tagged, or All Untagged.

3.Repeat for another VLAN, if desired.

4.Click Apply to set the change(s).

NOTE

In order to properly configure the Egress state for backplane ports, the Auto VLAN Backplane Configuration option should be set to disabled. This option is available via local management. If the option is set to enabled, the backplane ports cannot be set to No Egress via Element Manager.
