|
|
|
| Membership fields indicate the corresponding VLAN workgroup configuration, | |
|
|
|
| if configured, or all dashes | |
|
|
|

|
|
|
| You cannot delete VLAN 1. By default, all switch ports are assigned as | |
|
|
|
| untagged members of VLAN 1 with all ports configured as PVID = 1). See | |
|
|
|
| “IEEE 802.1Q VLAN Workgroups” on page | |

|
| |
|
|

|
|
| |||
|

|
| gigabit MDA ports can be set up as tagged VLAN members or as untagged | |
|
|
|
| VLAN members for a VLAN that has a VID which is equal to the port’s PVID. | |
|
|
|
| For all other VLANs configured on that port the VLAN port membership will be | |
|
|
|
| all tagged or all untagged (see “VLAN Port Configuration” on page | |
