Tagged and Untagged governs the outgoing frames. Fixed/forbidden/normal governs VLAN registration.
Note that care must be taken when configuring VLAN for the management port; if the configuration is not correct,
it will render the VES unreachable from the remote management station. The following are guidelines for tagged
VLAN configuration:
•
Reserve one VID specifically for management purpose. Assign that VID to be the management VLAND ID.
•
Make sure the member set of the management VID includes the uplink port through which the management
station talks to the VES. If you don’t know which uplink port it is, include both uplink ports in the member
set of the management VID. It generally does no harm in doing this, since typically both uplink ports talk to
each other already.
•
Save the configuration only after you configure both the management VLAN ID and the member set of that
VID consistently. Otherwise, the VES will be unreachable in-band through the uplink ports, since the traffic
will be blocked by the inconsistent VLAN setting.
•
PC and Workstations generally do not support tagged VLAN. If the management station indeed does not
support tagged VLAN, you must connect it to a VLAN-aware switch and configure the PVID of the port
connected to the management station to be the management VID.
18.3 Port-Based VLAN Setup
Port-based VLANs are VLANs where the packet forwarding decision is based on the destination MAC address
and its associated port.
