VLAN Management

The subsections following the Abbreviations list below describe these features and how each is configured.

Abbreviations

The following abbreviations are used throughout this chapter.

MGMT:

Management.

PVID:

A tagged port’s VLAN ID. Range is 1…4094.

STP:

Spanning tree protocol.

Tagged:

Tagging is enabled.

Untagged:

Tagging is disabled.

VID:

VLAN group’s ID. Range is 1…4094.

ΔNote: The terms “groups” and “segments” are both used to represent VLAN segments in the system. They are numbered from 1 to 15.

VLAN Groups

The IntraSwitch supports 15 VLAN Groups. Each of these VLAN Groups is uniquely identified by a 12-bit (1…4094) VLAN ID (VID). No two VLAN Groups can have same VID if they reside on the same switch. Stations on one VLAN Group can talk between themselves and cannot talk with stations in any other VLAN Group. By default, all ports of the system belong to VLAN Group 1 which is termed the Default VLAN and has a VID value of 1. The VID of the Default VLAN cannot be changed by the user. Each VLAN group can have one or more ports as its members.

Management operations allowed on VLAN Groups are:

❏Setting VID (for VLANs other than the Default VLAN). See "Setting VLAN ID" for details

❏VLAN name configuration. See "Setting VLAN Name" for details.

❏Adding Port Members to a VLAN Group. See "Adding VLAN Members" for details.

VLAN Untagged (normal) Ports

The IntraSwitch ports by default operate as normal ports, meaning they can transmit and receive frames as untagged or un-encapsulated frames. In the present implementation, a
