Configuring VLANs
Defining VLAN Interface Settings
•Exclude (Gray) — Excludes the interface from the VLAN. However, the interface can be added to the VLAN through GARP.
•Forbidden (Red) — Denies the interface VLAN membership, even if GARP indicates the port is to be added.

•Interface — Displays the port number included in the VLAN.
•Interface VLAN Mode — Displays the port mode. The possible values are:
–General — Indicates the port belongs to VLANs, and each VLAN is
