How To Set Up a 802.1q VLAN – Reference Example.
To illustrate a tag-based VLAN, we would like to use all Port 1’s and Port 2’s of switch 1 and
switch 2 to form a VLAN Group A, and all Port 5’s and Port 6’s to form a VLAN Group B. This will
restrict VLAN A and VLAN B from communicating with each other, except through their port 8’s
which they will use to transmit data to each other (this is their tagged port). The tagged VLAN
settings for switch 1 are as follows (settings for switch 2 are the same those for switch 1):
1. You must specify which port(s) belong to the VLAN.
Click
Add
to create VLAN A.
Enter a group name and a VLAN ID (VID) for VLAN A (you cannot use “1” as a VLAN ID, as
“1” is reserved for the default VID).
Use
Add
to include the ports that are to belong to this VLAN (Port 1 and Port 2). Don’t forget
to include the tagged/uplink port (uplink Port 8).
Repeat Step 1.1 to 1.3 to create VLAN B.
