To delete a VLAN, select the group from the list box underneath the VID field.
When you do this, the appropriate information is immediately displayed above. To
confirm deletion of the selected VLAN, you must click on Delete.
Field Description
Internal VlanId The Internal VLAN ID is used by the EtherLoop Management Agent to
communicate with the modems in the BitStorm 2400. There is no need
to alter it, but it must not match any other VLAN IDs defined on the unit.
VID VLAN ID. This field indicates the VLAN ID for this group. It is a decimal
number up to 4 digits long. Do not use the Internal VLAN ID.
Name This is the string name of this VLAN.
Secure This field allows you to put the VLAN into secure mode. The secure
VLAN is a security mechanism is similar to a VLAN per subscriber port,
but is simpler to configure and manage because it does not need to be
configured on a per-port basis. When a VLAN is in secure mode,
packets received on member ports are redirected to the uplink port (26)
and not switched to other members. Conversely, when a VLAN is not in
secure mode, the member ports share packets as in a normal VLAN. It
is also important to note that a VLAN’s secure status can be toggled
with an SNMP browser by setting the MIB
private.enterprises.wrs.tms.idb.garpMib.garpMIBObjects.
gDot1qVlanStaticSecureTable.gDot1qVlanStaticSecureEntry.
gDot1qVlanStaticSecureRowStatus object to active(1) (or the integer 1)
or notInService(2) (or the integer 2). However, keep in mind that you
must create and delete static VLANs through the standard VLAN MIBs.
Port Member
Status The remaining portion of this row allows you to set the state of a
particular port for this VLAN. There is a string of twelve characters in
this field with each character representing one port on the switch. The
first character represents port one, the second character represents
port two, etc. The character for a specific port represents the state it is
in for this VLAN. By clicking on the character for a specific port, you can
toggle the state for that port. The following states are defined:
!
–: Not included in group
!
M: Member (receives tagged packets into specified VLAN)
!
F: Forbidden (prevents allocation of packets to specified VLAN)
!
U: Untagged (receives untagged packets and tags the packets with
specified VLAN information)
