Table14 describes the VLAN Binding Options.

	Table 14. VLAN Binding Options
Option	Definition
Static	Assigns VLAN membership manually, using the
	VLAN Switch Ports page described in “Creating and
	Implementing VLANs”, in the Cajun P550/P220 Switch
	Operation Guide.
Bind to	Binds this port to all VLANs known to the switch.
All	This is an appropriate mode for switch-to-switch
	connections. If you use 3Com Mapping Tables, this
	setting is ignored.
	Note: When a tagged IEEE 802.1Q packet arrives
	on a port that is set to bind to all and the
	VLAN does not exist on the switch, the
	packet is forwarded on to the VLAN assigned
	to the port default VLAN for that port. To
	prevent unintended forwarding of unknown
	VLAN traffic to the port’s default VLAN,
	configure the port default VLAN to Discard.
	The automatic VLAN creation feature will not
	work if the port’s default VLAN is the discard
	VLAN, because the switch does not learn for
	this VLAN.
Bind to	Binds this port to any VLAN it receives traffic from.
Received	Note: If Automatic VLAN Creation is enabled, the
	port binds to previously unknown VLANs,
	and a VLAN entry is added to the switch
	VLAN table. If Automatic VLAN Creation is
	disabled, the port does not bind to any VLAN
	unknown to the switch.

5.From the Automatic VLAN Creation pull-down menu, select Enable to automatically create a VLAN each time the port receives a frame from an unknown VLAN.

*Note: This feature does not create entries in 3Com Mapping Tables. Refer to “Creating 3Com Mapping Tables”, in Chapter 12, for more information on 3Com Mapping Tables.
