Mode 5 Only accepts untagged traffic at the Downlink Ports. All Uplink traffic is tagged. Each Downlink Port adds a Qualified or Not Qualified VLAN tag to all ingress traffic. Management only accepted from Uplink Port and can be assigned a VLAN.

Mode 6 Accepts both tagged and untagged traffic at the Downlink Ports. All Uplink traffic is tagged. Each Downlink Port adds a Qualified or Not Qualified VLAN tag to all ingress traffic. Management only accepted from Uplink Port and can be assigned a VLAN.

Mode 7 Allows each port to be defined as a Drop or a Trunk port. Each Drop port assigns a Qualified or Not Qualified VLAN-tag to all ingress traffic. Assigned VLAN tags are added to the packet when they exit a Trunk port. Management is accepted on any Trunk port and can be assigned a VLAN.

Mode 8 Allows up to 64 VLAN IDs to be defined. Each port can be a tagged or no-tag member of a defined VLAN. A tag member ports will allow these tagged frames to enter/exit the port. No-tag members’ ports will add this tag to assigned frames at egress. NOTE, only one No-tag VLAN can be assigned to a given port but any or all defined tags can be assigned as tags for a given port.

To configure VLAN IDs, press the Spacebar when in the Command List section of the Main Configuration screen (console configuration). VLAN is an available option. Type vlan and press Enter for VLAN Configuration.
