Table 21 VLAN Configuration screen fields (continued)

Field

Description

 

 

 

 

 

Default

blank field

 

Range

2 to 4094

 

 

VLAN Name

Allows you to assign a name field to configured VLANs.

 

Default

VLAN # (VLAN number)

 

Range

Any ASCII string of up to 16 printable characters

 

 

Management VLAN

Allows you to assign any VLAN as the management VLAN. VLAN 1 is the default

 

management VLAN for the switch. To set this field, the VLAN State field value must

 

be Active.

 

 

Default

No

 

Range

Yes, No

 

 

User-Defined PID

Allows you to create your own user-defined VLAN where you specify the Protocol

 

Identifier (PID) for the VLAN. To set this field, the VLAN State field must be set to

 

Inactive. Some restrictions apply.

 

Default

0x0000

 

Range

Any 16-bit hexadecimal value (for example, 0xABCD)

 

 

VLAN State

Allows you to activate your newly created VLAN.

 

The following field values: VLAN Type, Protocol Id (PID), or User-defined PID must

 

be configured appropriately before this field can be set to active. After you set the

 

VLAN State field value to Active, you cannot change the VLAN State, VLAN Type,

 

Protocol Id, or User-defined PID field values, unless you delete the VLAN.

 

If you delete a VLAN, all configuration parameters that are associated with that

 

VLAN are also deleted.

 

Default

Inactive

 

Range

Inactive, Active

 

 

Port Membership

Allows you to assign VLAN port memberships to standalone or stacked unit ports.

 

The ports can be configured in one or more VLANs. To set this field, you must set

 

the VLAN State field to Active. Certain restrictions apply for Gigabit and BayStack

 

410 ports.

 

 

This field is dependent on the Tagging field value in the VLAN Port Configuration

 

screen (see the Tagging field description in “VLAN Port Configuration screen fields”

 

on page 126).

 

 

For example:

 

 

• When the Tagging field is set to Untagged Access, you can set the Port

 

Membership field as an untagged port member (U) or as a non-VLAN port

 

member (-).
