VLAN Settings
There are several VLAN modes, which provide varying levels of flexibility and security.
Configuring VLANs requires creating VLANs on the VLAN Settings page and configuring
ports for participation in the VLAN on the VLAN Port Settings page.
The VLAN settings page identifies which traffic a port can “listen” to. The VLAN Port
Settings page identifies traffic a port can “talk” to. For ports to participate effectively in
a VLAN, each port should be assigned to one VLAN on the VLAN settings page, then
configured with that VLAN ID on the VLAN Port Settings page.
VLAN Mode:
• Disabled: No VLAN processing is done. VLAN IDs and port-based VLANs are ignored.
• Port-Based:
Only port-based VLANs are used to route frames. VLAN IDs are ignored.
• Standard: (Most commonly configured) Port-based VLANs are ignored; all routing is done by
VLAN ID. The source port of a frame need not be part of a VLAN for the frame to be forwarded.
• Secure: All routing is done by VLAN ID; however, if the source port of a frame is not a member of
the target VLAN, then the frame is dropped. For example, if a tag-based VLAN for ID 1024 was
configured to include ports 1-5 and a frame with VLAN ID 1204 in its tag arrived at port 6, the
frame would not be forwarded.
Core Type: (gigabit switch only) Specify the Ethertype for double-tagged (“Q-in-Q”) frames
exiting ports of type Core. The value may be specified in hexadecimal with a 0x prefix.
Learning: This setting describes how different addresses on different VLANs are ‘learned’ by
the switch.
