VLAN Configuration Screen Fields

 

 

 

 

 

 

Field

 

 

 

Description

 

 

 

 

 

 

Create VLAN

 

 

 

Allows you to set up or view configured VLAN workgroups. Enter the number

 

 

 

 

of the new VLAN you want to create or view, then press [Return]. The Port

 

 

 

 

Membership fields indicate the corresponding VLAN workgroup configuration,

 

 

 

 

if configured, or all dashes (-), indicating no VLAN Members configured.

 

 

 

 

Alternatively, you can use the spacebar to toggle through the various

 

 

 

 

configured VLAN workgroups. You can only create up to 64 different VLANs.

 

 

 

 

Default

1

 

 

 

 

Range:

2 to 4094

Delete VLAN

 

 

 

Allows you to delete specified VLANs. Enter the number of the VLAN you want

 

 

 

 

to delete, then press [Return], or use the spacebar to toggle through the

 

 

 

 

selection until you reach the VLAN you want to delete, then press [Return].

 

 

 

 

The selected VLAN is deleted as soon as you press [Return]. The software

 

 

 

 

does not prompt you to reconsider this action.

 

 

 

 

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 1-18 for more information.

 

 

 

 

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

Port Membership

 

 

Allows you to assign switch ports as a tagged port member (T), untagged port

 

 

 

 

member (U), or as a non-VLAN port member (-). Switch ports can be

 

 

 

 

configured in one or more VLANs. An exception to this rule applies to the

 

 

 

 

gigabit MDAs (see note).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note: The gigabit MDAs restrict the configuration of VLAN tagging. The

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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 3-24).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Port Membership fields are displayed in six-port groups (for example, 1-6,

 

 

 

 

7-12, 13-18). The number of ports displayed depends on the switch model or

 

 

 

 

type of optional MDA installed in the Uplink Module slot.

 

 

 

 

Default Value: U (All ports are assigned as untagged members of VLAN 1.)

 

 

 

 

Range:

U, T, and -
