Tag-based VLAN Mode
Tag based mode is fully 802.1Q VLAN compliant. You must explicitly configure the
Egress and Ingress rules for each port and each VLAN. On the webUI, use the 802.1Q
TAG-BASED VLAN menu to configure VLANs.
The mT2 Switch and m2 WallPlate can operate independently. Be sure to configure all
ports on the Switch and the WallPlates for proper operation. Consult one of the VLAN
Tutorials.
Port-based VLAN Mode
Port based VLAN is also called Port Isolation or Port Privacy in other switches.
When operating in port-based mode, the T2 Switch will ignore 802.1Q VLAN tags. Port
isolation is based on a VLAN Map. On the webUI, use the PORT-BASED menu to see
the VLAN Map and change the mapping. See below for more details.
Note:
The Switch operates in port-based mode; whereas the WallPlates only operate
in tag-based, or disabled. This allows for special case configurations where the
WallPlates do all the 802.1Q VLAN tagging, while the Switch maintains port-to-port
privacy.

vlan interface ingress
Ingress command: Assign the PVID for a port. This VLAN ID will be assigned to all
packets received
untagged
on this port
vlan interface egress
Set the Egress mode on any CPE port. This command does not apply to mT2 Switch
ports
vlan interface igmp
Assign VLAN for IGMP packets
vlan interface mgmt
Assign VLAN for layer 2 security for all management traffic
