CONFIGURING THE SWITCH

•Name – Name of the VLAN (1 to 32 characters).

•Status – Enables or disables the specified VLAN.

-Enable: VLAN is operational.

-Disable: VLAN is suspended; i.e., does not pass packets.

•Port – Port identifier.

•Trunk – Trunk identifier.

•Membership Type – Select VLAN membership for each interface by marking the appropriate radio button for a port or trunk:

-Tagged: Interface is a member of the VLAN. All packets transmitted by the port will be tagged, that is, carry a tag and therefore carry VLAN or CoS information.

-Untagged: Interface is a member of the VLAN. All packets transmitted by the port will be untagged, that is, not carry a tag and therefore not carry VLAN or CoS information. Note that an interface must be assigned to at least one group as an untagged port.

-Forbidden: Interface is forbidden from automatically joining the VLAN via GVRP. For more information, see “Automatic VLAN Registration” on page 3-152.

-None: Interface is not a member of the VLAN. Packets associated with this VLAN will not be transmitted by the interface.

•Trunk Member – Indicates if a port is a member of a trunk. To add a trunk to the selected VLAN, use the last table on the VLAN Static Table page.
