VLAN Type
VLANs must be enabled from the Advanced Settings menu for this option to be shown.
Property
Explanation
VLAN
Untagged (Normal): Only data belonging to the port’s
specified VLAN ID# will be transmitted. Typically connected
to end equipment.
Tagged (Uplink): All traffic on all VLANs will be transmitted.
Typically connected to another switch.
Once VLANs are enabled and the VLAN range is set from the Base Configuration menu,
by default a port is set as Untagged (Normal) with a VLAN ID# of 1, or the lowest ID# of
the VLAN range.
Ports set as Untagged only transmit data packets in the VLAN specified by the ID# and
are typically connected to end equipment.
Ports set as Tagged do not require a VLAN ID#, and this option will not be shown.
Tagged ports transmit all data packets regardless of the packet’s VLAN ID. Tagged
ports are typically connected to other switches.
Generally, a Tagged port on one switch should not be connected to an Untagged port on
another switch.
VLAN ID#
The VLAN ID# option is only shown for ports set as Untagged.
Property
Explanation
VLAN ID#
Sets the VLAN tag used by the port. Only data packets
belonging to this VLAN ID will be transmitted by the port.
Property is only shown for Untagged ports. Only VLAN ID#s
within the range defined in the VLAN Setup will be shown.
Currently it is not possible to set a soft label for VLAN ID#.
