Two VLANS connected via a router
Creating New VLANs
If you want to move a port from the Default VLAN to another VLAN, you
must first define information about the new VLAN on your Switch.
VLANs: Tagged and
Untagged
Membership
Your Switch supports 802.1Q VLAN tagging, a system that allows traffic
for multiple VLANs to be carried on a single physical (backbone) link.
When setting up VLANs you need to understand when to use untagged
and tagged membership of VLANs. Quite simply, if a port is in a single
VLAN it can be an untagged member but if the port needs to be a
member of multiple VLANs tagged membership must be defined.
Typically endstations (for example, clients or servers) will be untagged
members of one VLAN, while inter-Switch connections will be tagged
members of all VLANs.
The IEEE 802.1Q standard defines how VLANs operate within an open
packet-switched network. An 802.1Q compliant packet carries additional
information that allows a switch to determine to which VLAN the port
belongs. If a frame is carrying the additional information, it is known as
tagged
.
To carry multiple VLANs across a single physical (backbone) link, each
packet must be tagged with a VLAN identifier so that the Switches can
