VLAN & PVID PERSPECTIVE

This section describes the default VLAN and how to obtain a VLAN perspec- tive.

Default VLAN

The IEEE 802.1Q standard defines VLAN ID #1 as the default VLAN. The default VLAN includes all the ports as the factory default. The default VLAN’s egress rule restricts the ports to be all untagged, so it can, by default, be easily used as a simple 802.1D bridging domain. The default VLAN’s domain shrinks as untagged ports are defined in other VLANs.

The following procedure describes how to obtain a VLAN perspective. For convenience, the VLAN ID appears as both decimal and hexadecimal values side by side in the VLAN Perspective screen.

1.From the L2 Switching DataBase screen, highlight VLAN & PVID Perspective and press the Enter key. The VLAN & PVID Perspective screen will appear. Select VLAN settings.
