Modular Ethernet Switch User’s Guide

Using the Console Interface

This screen allows you to

Enable

Disable

Group VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP) for each port. When

GVRP is

Enabled,

a user attached to the port’s Ethernet segment can dynamically join an 802.1Q VLAN that

has been previously defined on the switch. When GVRP is

Disabled,

then no dynamic VLAN registration is

allowed on this port.

Choose

Configure 802.1Q Static VLANs

to access the fourth item on the

802.1Q VLAN

Configuration

menu. The following screen appears:

Figure 6-40. 802.1Q Static VLAN Settings screen

The fields you can set are:

♦

VID

Enter a VLAN ID from 1 to 4094. This is the VLAN that will be defined on this screen. VID 1 is the

default VLAN. All ports are designated members of VID 1 when VLANs are enabled.

♦

VLAN Name

Description of the VLAN.

♦

Tag/Untag

Toggle between

for Tagging Port and

for Untagging Port for each member port.

♦

Egress/Forbidden/Non-Member

Position the cursor over the dash “–“ representing the appropriate

port number and press <space bar> to select

for Egress,

for Forbidden or leave the dash “–“. An

designates the specified port as a static member of the VLAN. An

defines the port as a non-member and

also forbids the port from joining a VLAN dynamically. A dash (–) means the port is not given VLAN

membership for the VID entered above.

♦

Clear

Erases the VLAN name and deselects any Egress or Forbidden settings.

Choose

Browse 802.1Q VLANs

at the bottom of the
