Configuring the GbE Interconnect Switch Using the Web-Based Management Interface

Egress—Allows you to select the radio button to specify that the port is a static member of the VLAN. Egress member ports transmit traffic for the VLAN.

Forbidden—Specifies the port as not being a member of the VLAN and that the port is forbidden from dynamically becoming a member of the VLAN.

NOTE: Characteristics of DEFAULT_VLAN include:

DEFAULT_VLAN is an IEEE 802.1Q Static VLAN with VID equal to 1.

DEFAULT_VLAN cannot be deleted.

The VID cannot be changed. The VID that is equal to 1 is reserved for DEFAULT_VLAN.

The VLAN name can be changed to any other valid VLAN name.

You cannot delete a port from DEFAULT_VLAN, unless it is a member of another 802.1Q VLAN.

You cannot forbid a port from DEFAULT_VLAN, unless it is a member of another 802.1Q VLAN.

If a port is deleted from the only 802.1Q VLAN of which it is a member, then it will automatically become a member of DEFAULT_VLAN as an untagged, egress port.

If a port is assigned to a user-created 802.1Q VLAN, and is not a tagged egress port member of DEFAULT_VLAN (in other words, it is an untagged egress port), then it will be deleted automatically from DEFAULT_VLAN.

A tagged egress port of DEFAULT_VLAN will not be deleted from DEFAULT_VLAN, when it is assigned to another user-created 802.1Q VLAN.

To configure an 802.1Q static VLAN entry:

1.Type the VLAN ID in the VID field.

2.Type the VLAN name in the VLAN Name field.

3.Select Tag if you want a member port to be a tagging port. Leave it unselected if you do not want it to be a tagging port.

4.Click None if you do not want a port to belong to the VLAN, or click Egress to statically set a port to belong to a VLAN.

5.Click Apply to let the changes take effect.

NOTE: To save the configuration settings permanently, you must enter them into NVRAM using the Save Changes option on the Maintenance menu. Refer to the section, “Saving Changes,” earlier in this chapter.
