2. Be sure to setup the Tag (uplink) Port (port 8 for our example). Thus, VLAN A and VLAN B
can only communicate with one another via transmission from their port 8.
Use this software to specify the Tag port for both VLAN A and VLAN B.
3. Set the Port VLAN ID.
Follow the instructions described in Port VLAN ID (PVID) section to set up the port VLAN
ID’s for each Untag port. It is recommended that each port’s PVID be set to the same value
as the VLAN ID (VID) to which it belongs. Tag (uplink) ports do not use port VLAN ID’s.
4. Always remember to select
Save Configuration
to preserve your settings. Otherwise, your
settings will be lost when the switch power is turned OFF.
5. Repeat steps 1-4 to set up the second switch (the settings for the second switch are the
same).
6. Since the settings for the second switch are exactly the same as the first one, you can use
the Configuration Backup function to copy the first switch settings and restore them to the
second switch. This will reduce the time required to setup the second switch. Refer to the
Configuration Backup section for more information.
