4.6.4 VLAN Port Configuration
This page is used for configuring the Managed Switch port VLAN. The VLAN per Port Configuration page contains fields for
managing ports that are part of a VLAN. The port default VLAN ID (PVID) is configured on the VLAN Port Configuration page. All
untagged packets arriving to the device are tagged by the ports PVID.

IEEE 802.1Q Tagged and Untagged
Every port on an 802.1Q compliant switch can be configured as tagged or untagged.
Tagged:
Ports with tagging enabled will put the VID number, priority and other VLAN information into the
header of all packets that flow into those ports. If a packet has previously been tagged, the port
will not alter the packet, thus keeping the VLAN information intact. Other 802.1Q compliant
devices on the network to make packet-forwarding decisions can use the VLAN information in
the tag.
Untagged:
Ports with untagging enabled will strip the 802.1Q tag from all packets that flow into those ports.
If the packet doesn't have an 802.1Q VLAN tag, the port will not alter the packet. Thus, all
packets received by and forwarded by an untagging port will have no 802.1Q VLAN information.
(Remember that the PVID is only used internally within the Switch). Untagging is used to send
packets from an 802.1Q-compliant network device to a non-compliant network device.

IEEE 802.1Q Tunneling (Q-in-Q)
IEEE 802.1Q Tunneling (QinQ) is designed for service providers carrying traffic for multiple customers across their networks.
QinQ tunneling is used to maintain customer-specific VLAN and Layer 2 protocol configurations even when different customers
use the same internal VLAN IDs. This is accomplished by inserting
Service Provider VLAN (SPVLAN)
tags into the customer’s
frames when they enter the service provider’s network, and then stripping the tags when the frames leave the network.
A service provider’s customers may have specific requirements for their internal VLAN IDs and number of VLANs supported.
VLAN ranges required by different customers in the same service-provider network might easily overlap, and traffic passing
through the infrastructure might be mixed. Assigning a unique range of VLAN IDs to each customer would restrict customer
configurations, require intensive processing of VLAN mapping tables, and could easily exceed the maximum VLAN limit of 4096.
