VLAN Tag Control

Tagged

Ports belonging to the specified VLAN tag all

 

 

 

outgoing frames transmitted.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Untagged

Ports belonging to the specified VLAN 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

 

 

Type

untagged incoming frames, just tagged incoming

 

 

 

frames or just untagged 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

 

 

 

 

9.3 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
