Static Virtual LANs (VLANs) 

Port-Based Virtual LANs (Static VLANs) 

The VLANs assigned to ports X3, X4, Y2, Y3, and Y4 can all be untagged 
because there is only one VLAN assigned per port. Port X1 has multiple VLANs 
assigned, which means that one VLAN assigned to this port can be untagged 
and any others must be tagged. The same applies to ports X2, Y1, and Y5.

*”No” means the port is not a member of that VLAN. For example, port X3 is not 
a member of the Red VLAN and does not carry Red VLAN traffic. Also, if GVRP 
were enabled, “Auto” would appear instead of “No”. 

N o t e    

VLAN configurations on ports connected by the same link must match. 
Because ports X2 and Y5 are opposite ends of the same point-to-point connec­
tion, both ports must have the same VLAN configuration; that is, both ports 
configure the Red VLAN as “Untagged” and the Green VLAN as “Tagged”. 

To summarize: 

VLANs Per 
Port 

Tagging Scheme 

1 

Untagged or Tagged. If the device connected to the port is 802.1Q-compliant, 
then the recommended choice is “Tagged”. 

2 or More 

1 VLAN Untagged; all others Tagged

 or 

All VLANs Tagged 

A given VLAN 

must

 have the same VID on any 802.1Q-compliant device in which the VLAN is  

configured. 
The ports connecting two 802.1Q devices should have identical VLAN configurations, as  
shown for ports X2 and Y5, above.
