4.3.4 Configuring VLAN Port Attributes

To configure port attributes, type p in the VLAN Management Menu (or l in the VLAN Group Static Configuration Menu). This accesses the VLAN port configuration menu, shown below. Navigate to the port to configure by typing a command (s, n, or p), as shown at the bottom of the screen.

Setting the Port VLAN ID

Port VLAN ID (PVID) is used for VLAN classification of incoming untagged frames and is meaning only when a port is configured to receive both untagged and tagged frames. It is used to assign untagged frames to the VLAN identified by the PVID.

By default, each port on the switch has a PVID of 1 (the default VLAN). The allowed PVID range is 1 to 4094. For ports that are configured to receive only tagged frames, the PVID is meaningless and the port is assigned a PVID of 4095.

For ports that are members of more than one VLAN, received frames are assigned as follows:

•A tagged frame is forwarded to the VLAN matching the VID in the tag field of the frame

•An untagged frame is forwarded to the VLAN matching the PVID

To set the VLAN ID for the port (PVID), from the VLAN Port Configuration Menu, type c. Enter the number to be assigned (from 1–4094). Press Enter when done.

Adding and Deleting VLANs from the Port

To add or delete VLANs assigned to a port, type a to add, or d to delete from the VLAN Port Configuration Menu. Follow the instructions on the screen.

Enabling and Disabling Port Ingress Filtering

By default, a port will accept and forward tagged frames whether or not the port is a member of a VLAN matching the VID of the tagged frame. If ingress filtering is enabled, incoming tagged frames are forwarded only if the port is a member of the VLAN matching the VID of the tagged frame. All other frames are dropped and no addresses will be learned. To enable or disable ingress filtering on the port, type e to access the Advanced Configuration submenu, and then type f to toggle port ingress filtering.

Configuring Port Receive Frame Type

By default, all ports on the switch receive both 802.1Q tagged frames and untagged frames. A port may be configured to receive only 802.1Q tagged frames. If a port is configured to receive only tagged frames, any
