IEEE802.1Q VLANS
This is a more complex form of VLAN that reacts to the tagging field in the Ethernet packets. Unlike Port Based VLANS, where VLANS created are only significant to the local Switch, 802.1Q VLANS can exist across multiple Switches. The connection between these Switches is called an 802.1Q trunk.

2.Use the <tab> to move into the VLAN ID Range and select required VLAN ID range by pressing <space>. Again using the <tab> key to move into the port field of the menu. Enter the number of the tagged VLAN ID directly into the VLAN ID field. If the device connected to this port does not support tagged VLANS, the ingress traffic will have the specified default tag number added to each packet. This allows legacy devices that do not support tagging to interoperate with tagged VLAN systems.
3.Use the <tab> key to move into the Ingress Filter field of the menu. Use the <spacebar> to toggle between Disable and Enable. When this filter is Enable (default), then only ingress packets with an identical VLAN tag to the port VLAN ID will be forwarded. If Disable, all tagged packets will be forwarded.
