Nortel Networks 350 manual Field Description Primary Vlan Tagging

Using the BayStack 350 10/100/1000 Series Switch

Table 3-9.	VLAN Port Configuration Screen Fields (continued)
Field		Description
Primary VLAN Tagging		Allows a user to assign the associated gigabit MDA port as a tagged or
		untagged VLAN member for the VLAN corresponding to the port’s PVID
		(see “Assigning Tagging to Gigabit MDA Ports” on page 3-26).
		Default Value: Untagged
		Range:	Untagged, Tagged

Secondary VLAN Tagging Allows a user to assign tagging parameter values (tagged or untagged) to all other VLANs (all VLANs with VIDs that are not equal to the PVID). See “Assigning Tagging to Gigabit MDA Ports” on page 3-26.

Default Value: Tagged

Range: Tagged, Untagged

Assigning Tagging to Gigabit MDA Ports

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.

This section shows how a user could assign the gigabit MDA port (port 25 shown in Figure 3-10) as a Tagged VLAN member. In this example, the MDA port in the example is configured with a PVID of 1. This means that the port-to-VLAN association for port 25 is VLAN 1 (see “IEEE 802.1Q Tagging” on page 1-19). If the PVID for port 25 is changed to another number (for example, PVID 7), port 25 becomes associated with VLAN 7. This is important to note because the rules applying to the gigabit MDA configuration only allow for one (primary) VLAN for the gigabit port. All other VLANs configured on that port are considered secondary VLANs, and the secondary VLAN memberships can only be all tagged or all untagged.

To assign the gigabit MDA port as a tagged VLAN member for the primary VLAN, complete the following steps:

1.From the VLAN Port Configuration screen, change the (default) Primary VLAN Tagging field to Tagged, then Press [Return].

2.Press [Ctrl]-R to return to the previous menu.
