61.6.2.2 Port VLAN Trunking
Enable
VLAN Trunking
on a port to allow frames belonging to unknown VLAN groups to pass through
that port. This is useful if you want to set up VLAN groups on end devices without having to configure the
same VLAN groups on intermediary devices.
Refer to the following figure. Suppose you want to create VLAN groups 1 and 2 (V1 and V2) on devices
A and B. Without
VLAN Trunking
, you must configure VLAN groups 1 and 2 on all intermediary switches C,
D and E; otherwise they will drop frames with unknown VLAN group tags. However, with
VLAN Trunking
enabled on ports in each intermediary switch you only need to create VLAN groups in the end devices
(A and B). C, D and E automatically allow frames with VLAN group tags 1 and 2 (VLAN groups that are
unknown to those switches) to pass through their VLAN trunking ports.

VLAN Status
screen as shown next.
VLAN Tag Control
Tagged
Ports belonging to the specified VLAN tag all outgoing frames
transmitted.
Untagged
Ports belonging to the specified VLAN do not tag all outgoing
frames transmitted.
VLAN Port
Port VID
This is the VLAN ID assigned to untagged frames that this port
received.
Acceptable Frame
Type
You may choose to accept both tagged and untagged incoming
frames, just tagged incoming frames or just untagged incoming
frames on a port.
Ingress filtering
If set, the Switch discards incoming frames for VLANs that do not
have this port as a member.
