DESCRIPTION

 

 

 

 

 

VLAN Administrative

Registration Fixed

Fixed registration ports are permanent VLAN members.

 

Control

 

 

 

Registration

Ports with registration forbidden are forbidden to join the

 

 

 

 

Forbidden

specified VLAN.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Normal Registration

Ports dynamically join a VLAN using GVRP.

 

 

 

 

 

VLAN Tag Control

Tagged

Ports belonging to the specified VLAN tag all outgoing

 

 

 

frames transmitted.

 

 

Untagged

Ports belonging to the specified don't tag all outgoing

 

 

 

frames transmitted.

 

VLAN Port

Port VID

This is the VLAN ID assigned to untagged frames that

 

 

 

this port received.

 

 

Acceptable frame

You may choose to accept both tagged and untagged

 

 

type

incoming frames or just tagged incoming frames on a

 

 

 

port.

 

 

Ingress filtering

If set, the switch discards incoming frames for VLANs

 

 

 

that do not have this port as a member

8.3 Port VLAN Trunking

Enable VLAN Trunking on a port to allow frames belonging to unknown VLAN groups to pass through that port. This is useful if you want to set up VLAN groups on end devices without having to configure the same VLAN groups on intermediary devices.

Refer to the following figure. Suppose you want to create VLAN groups 1 and 2 (V1 and V2) on devices A and B. Without VLAN Trunking, you must configure VLAN groups 1 and 2 on all intermediary switches C, D and E; otherwise they will drop frames with unknown VLAN group tags. However, with VLAN Trunking enabled on a port(s) in each intermediary switch you only need to create VLAN groups in the end devices (A and B). C, D and E automatically allow frames with VLAN group tags 1 and 2 (VLAN groups that are unknown to those switches) to pass through their VLAN trunking port(s).
