Figure 2-26. The VLAN Port Config Window

The 802.1Q VLAN Port Assignment list box in this window displays the following information about ports on your 802.1Q switch:

Slot/Port

These fields display the slot and port index for each port on your 802.1Q switch.

VLAN ID

This field displays the VLAN ID of the VLAN to which the port is currently assigned.

Mode

This field displays the port’s current mode of operation. Port operational modes include:

Dot1DTrunk mode, which is used for ports that are to connect to a traditional (802.1D) switch fabric. These ports transmit only untagged frames. 1d Trunk ports are configured to be members of all VLANs.

Dot1QTrunk mode, which is used for ports used to connect 802.1Q-aware devices if VLAN membership is to apply to users across several switches. These ports transmit only tagged frames. 1Q Trunk ports are configured to be members of all VLANs.

Hybrid mode, which allows a port to receive and transmit both tagged and untagged frames. In this mode, the port will be a member of its statically assigned VLAN, as well as any dynamically learned VLANs. Hybrid mode is enabled by default.
