VLAN Static Table
Use this screen to modify the settings for an existing VLAN. You can add/
delete port members for a VLAN from any unit in the stack. (Note that
VLAN 1 is fixed as an untagged VLAN containing all ports in the stack,
and cannot be modified via this screen.)
The switch supports an overlapping VLAN feature that allows any port to
be configured as a member of multiple VLANs. This enables inter-switch
links to carry traffic from VLANs that cross the network. Also, shared
resources, such as servers, can be connected to a port that is configured as
a tagged member of multiple VLANs.
Note: Overlapping VLANs on a port connected to another device
requires that device, switch or server, including network card and
operating system, to be VLAN tag aware.
Use the following menu to add or remove a port to the displayed VLAN
group. As you can see from this example, all ports are included in VLAN 1
by default.
