Edit Switch Port
This window lets you edit VLAN information for Ethernet switch ports.
Mode Group
Choose the type of VLAN information you want to be carried across this Ethernet
switch port. Choosing Access causes the switch port to forward only data destined
for the specific VLAN number. Choosing Trunking causes the switch port to
forward data for all VLANs, including the VLAN data itself. Choose Trunking
only for “trunking” VLAN ports that connect to other networking devices, such
as another switch, that will connect to devices in multiple VLANs.
VLAN
To assign the switch port to a VLAN, enter the VLAN number to which this
switch port should belong. If the switch port does not already have a VLAN
associated with it, this field will show the default value VLAN 1. To create a new
VLAN interface corresponding to a VLAN ID, enter that VLAN ID here and
check the Make VLAN visible to interface list check box.
Make VLAN visible to interface list Check Box
Check if you want to create a new VLAN with the VLAN ID specified in the
VLAN field.
Stacking Partner
Choose a switch module as the stacking partner to use. When a device contains
multiple switching modules, these must be stacked before other stacking partners.
Bridge Group Number
If you want this switch port to form part of a bridge to a wireless network, enter
the number of an existing bridge group.
Speed
Choose the speed to match the network to which the switch port will be connected.
Or choose auto to allow for the speed to be automatically set to the optimal value.
