Adding Ports to a VLAN

You can add ports or port groups (if you have defined them) to a VLAN. After adding a port or port group, you can also assign a tag value to the port or port group. A tag is a numeric value that identifies a virtual port within the VLAN. The same VLAN can have different tag values on different ports. However, a port can have only one tag value in a given VLAN. A VLAN can also have untagged ports. An untagged port can be a member of only one VLAN.

MSS supports the IEEE 802.1Q tag type, described in the IEEE 802.1Q specification.

To configure VLAN membership:

1In the Modify VLAN wizard, click VLAN Member Selection. The VLAN Member Selection page appears.

Only ports configured as network ports are listed. You cannot add MAP access ports, Distributed MAPs, or wired authentication ports to a VLAN.

2From the list of available members, select a port or port group (if you previously created port groups).

If a port or port group is currently a member of a VLAN, the VLAN name is listed in the VLAN(s) column. To make multiple selections, press Shift (for contiguous items) or Control (for noncontiguous items) while clicking items.

3Do one of the following:

„To add a port or port group to the VLAN and remove previous VLAN membership, click Move.

Moving a port or port group could potentially affect multiple VLANs.
