Important rules for VLANs
Make sure you keep to the following rules when configuring and operating your VLANs:
●
To achieve switchover times in the ring of 300 ms when using VLANs or multicast groups,
all ring ports must be created statically as members in all VLANs and all multicast groups.
●
Frames with VLAN-ID "0" (for example only priority-tagged frames) are handled like
untagged frames.
●
As default, all ports on the IE switch send frames without a VLAN tag to ensure that the
end node can receive these frames. This basic setting is necessary since it is not always
certain whether a node can interpret tagged frames.
●
As default, an IE switch that supports VLANs has the parameter assignment VLAN
identifier 1 (default VLAN) at all ports.
Note
The VLAN-ID 500 is reserved for future use and is already configured.
If an end node is connected to a port, outgoing frames should be sent without a tag (static
access port). If, however, there is a further switch at this port, the frame should have a tag
added (trunk port).
VLANs with the IE switch
The Current VLAN Configuration page shows the current assignment of the ports in terms of
VLAN configuration.
Changing pages
Click on the ">>" or "<<" buttons to page backwards and forwards.
On the second page, instead of the ports, you will see any link aggregations that have been
set up.
