This matrix allows for real time management of up to 64 VLANs.

Figure 4-29: VLAN Membership

To add a port to a VLAN, position the cursor in the desired matrix location and toggle the options with the SPACE bar.

A ‘U’ or ‘T’ will be displayed for each port assigned to the VLAN, where ‘U’ stands for untagged and ‘T’ for tagged. If a port is an untagged member of a VLAN, the VLAN tag will be striped from the frame before it is sent out that port. If the port is a tagged member of a VLAN, the VLAN tag will stay in the frame when it is sent. A ‘_’ space indicates that the port is not a member of the particular VLAN, and will not receive or forward any traffic for that VLAN. VLAN tagging is a standard set by the IEEE to facilitate the spanning of VLANs across multiple switches. (Reference: Appendix B and IEEE Std 802.1Q-1998 Virtual Bridged Local Area Networks).

Main Menu> Advanced> VLANS> VLAN Ports

All untagged packets entering the switch will by default be tagged with the ID specified by the port’s PVID.
