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.
Defining VLAN Interface Settings

The VLAN Interface Settings Page contains the following fields:
•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
–Access — Indicates a port belongs to a single untagged VLAN. When a port is in Access mode, the packet types which are accepted on the port cannot be designated. Ingress filtering cannot be enabled or disabled on an access port.
–Trunk — Indicates the port belongs to VLANs in which all ports are tagged, except for one port that can be untagged.
