Configuring Advanced Features

Port-Based Virtual LANs (Static VLANs)

Ports 4 and 5 are assigned to both VLANs.

Ports 6 and 7 are assigned only to VLAN-22.

All other ports are assigned only to the Default VLAN.

For information on VLAN tags (“Untagged” and “Tagged”), refer to “VLAN Tagging Information” on page 9-67.

d. If you are finished assigning ports to VLANs, press [Enter] and then [S] (for Save) to activate the changes you've made and to return to the Configuration menu. (The console then returns to the VLAN menu.)

CLI: Configuring VLAN Parameters

In the factory default state, all ports on the switch belong to the default VLAN (DEFAULT_VLAN) and are in the same broadcast/multicast domain. (The default VLAN is also the default primary VLAN—see “Which VLAN Is Pri- mary?” on page 9-51.) You can configure up to 29 additional static VLANs by adding new VLAN names, and then assigning one or more ports to each VLAN. (The switch accepts a maximum of 30 VLANs, including the default VLAN and any dynamic VLANs the switch creates if you enable GVRP—page 9-74.)Note that each port can be assigned to multiple VLANs by using VLAN tagging. (See “VLAN Tagging Information” on page 9-67.)
