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 VLAN1 is fixed as an untagged VLAN containing
all ports in the stack, and cannot be modified via this screen.)

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.

Parameter

Description

VLAN

The ID for the VLAN currently displayed.

Range: 1-2048

Name

A user-specified symbolic name for this VLAN.

String length: 8 alphanumeric characters

Status

Enables/disables the specified VLAN.

Parameter

Description

Egress Ports

Adds ports to the specified VLAN.
