Quick VLAN Walkthrough
The Port VLAN List of any port on the device can also be checked at any time using the Port Filtering Configuration screen. A list of all ports eligible to transmit frames for a given VLAN will also be listed on the VLAN Forwarding Configuration screen. Each port can also be set to filter out (drop) incoming frames that have VLAN tags that do not match with any of those in its Port VLAN List, and also filter out all untagged frames received by the port.
