Per-Port Static VLAN Configuration Options

The following figure and table show the options you can use to assign individual ports to a static VLAN. Note that GVRP, if configured, affects these options and VLAN behavior on the switch. The display below shows the per- port VLAN configuration options. Table 2-3 briefly describes these options.

Enabling GVRP causes “No” to display as “Auto”.

Parameter

Effect on Port Participation in Designated VLAN

Tagged

Allows the port to join multiple VLANs.

Untagged

Allows VLAN connection to a device that is configured for an untagged

 

VLAN instead of a tagged VLAN. A port can be an untagged member of

 

only one port-based VLAN. A port can also be an untagged member of only

 

one protocol-based VLAN for any given protocol type. For example, if the

 

switch is configured with the default VLAN plus three protocol-based

 

VLANs that include IPX, then port 1 can be an untagged member of the

 

default VLAN and one of the protocol-based VLANS.
