•Untagged VLANs - Untagged (or static) VLANs are typically used to reduce broadcast traffic and to increase security. A group of network users assigned to a VLAN form a broadcast domain that is separate from other VLANs configured on the Model 2160. Packets are forwarded only between ports that are des- ignated for the same VLAN. Untagged VLANs can be used to manually isolate user groups or subnets.
•Port VID (PVID) - A PVID is a VLAN ID assigned to untagged frames received on the interface. (Default: 1). If an interface is not a member of VLAN 1 and you assign its PVID to this VLAN, the interface will automatically be added to VLAN 1 as an untagged member. For all other VLANs, an interface must first be configured as an untagged member before you can assign its PVID to that group.
•Link Type - The Link Type determines the types of frames the port can accept. Access means the port can only receive or send untagged frame types. Trunk means that the port can only receive or send tagged frame types.
Port-Based VLAN
Click on VLAN under Advanced on the main menu to reach the VLAN advanced configuration page. Then, select the radio button for
Figure 19. Port-Based VLAN page
As with other VLAN approaches, the packets forwarded using this method do not leak into other VLAN domains on the network. After a port has been assigned to a VLAN, the port cannot send to or receive from devices in another VLAN.
