To configure a port-based Vlan

Using the Web Console

Ports must be removed from another VLAN before they are available for assigning as static members of a port-based VLAN.

1.In the left panel, click VLAN Configurations.

2.In the top panel, click Port-Based VLANs.

3.Click New and configure these fields.

	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, a VLAN name cannot be
		modified.

	Port Member	Specifies which ports are static members of the VLAN. Click a port’s check
	Port Member	box to add a port to the VLAN.
		box to add a port to the VLAN.

4.Click Apply.

5.To modify a VLAN, select it from the list and click Edit.

To configure an 802.1Q VLAN

1.In the left panel, click VLAN Configurations.

2.In the top panel, click 802.1Q VLANs.

3.Click New and configure these fields.

	Field	Description

	VLAN ID (VID)	Specifies an identifier for the VLAN. Enter a number from 2—4094.

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

4. Click Apply.
