Static Virtual LANs (VLANs)

802.1Q VLAN Tagging

The VLANs assigned to ports X4 - X6, Y2 - Y5 can all be untagged because there is only one VLAN assigned per port.

Port X1 has two AppleTalk VLANs assigned, which means that one VLAN assigned to this port can be untagged and the other must be tagged.

Ports X2 and Y1 have two port-based VLANs assigned, so one can be untagged and the other must be tagged on both ports.

Ports X3 and Y6 have two port-based VLANs and one protocol-based VLAN assigned. Thus, one port-based VLAN assigned to this port can be untagged and the other must be tagged. Also, since these two ports share the same link, their VLAN configurations must match.

*”No” means the port is not a member of that VLAN. For example, port X3 is not a member of the Red VLAN and does

 

not carry Red VLAN traffic. Also, if GVRP were enabled (port-based only), “Auto” would appear instead of “No”.

VLAN configurations on ports connected by the same link must match.

 

 

 

 

Because ports X2 and Y5 are opposite ends of the same point-to-point connec-

 

 

 

 

tion, both ports must have the same VLAN configuration; that is, both ports

 

 

 

 

configure the Red VLAN as “Untagged” and the Green VLAN as “Tagged”.
