Field

Description

 

 

 

Specifies the name of the VLAN for which ports are to be configured. The

VLAN Name

name can be up to 32 characters. Once created, the name cannot be

 

modified.

 

 

 

Specifies the port’s membership status. Select the appropriate state by

 

selecting a radial button for each port. Options which aren’t available are

 

grayed out.

 

Untagged— Designates the port as an untagged member of the VLAN.

 

When an untagged packet is transmitted by the port, the packet header

 

remains unchanged. When a tagged packet exits the port, the tag is

 

stripped and the packet is changed to an untagged packet. If the port is

 

attached to a device that is not IEEE 802.1Q VLAN compliant

 

(VLAN-tag unaware), then the port should be set to U - Untagged.

Membership

Tagged— Designates the port as a tagged member of the VLAN. When

an untagged packet is transmitted by the port, the packet header is

 

 

changed to include the 32-bit tag associated with the PVID (Port VLAN

 

Identifier). When a tagged packet with a different VID exits the port, the

 

packet header is unchanged. If the port is attached to a device that is

 

IEEE 802.1Q VLAN compliant, (VLAN-tag aware), then the port can be

 

set to Tagged.

 

Forbidden— Designates the port as not being a member of the VLAN

 

and prevents packets tagged with the VLAN’s VID from entering the

 

port.

 

None— Designates the port as not being a member of the VLAN.

To configure member ports of an 802.1Q VLAN

1.In the left panel, click VLAN Configurations.

2.In the top panel, click IEEE 802.1Q Port Settings.

3.For each port, enable or disable the following:

Field

Description

 

 

 

Specifies whether the port can dynamically become a member of a VLAN.

GVRP

This protocol allows the port to share VLAN information with other ports so

 

that a VLAN can span multiple switches.

 

 

 

Specifies whether a port checks the VID of incoming packets against its VID

Ingress Checking

or PVID. If the two are equal, the port will receive the packet. It the two are

unequal, the port will drop the packet. This is used to limit traffic to a single

 

 

VLAN.

 

 

4. Click Apply.

Link Aggregation

Link aggregation allows several ports to be grouped together so that they can act as a single port. This is done to either increase the bandwidth of a network connection or to increase fault tolerance.

Link Aggregation is most commonly used to link a bandwidth-intensive network device or devices —such as a server or server farm—to the backbone of a network.
