Parameter Description
VLAN Mode (continued)
Tag-based VLANs identify their members by VID. This option
considers any Ingress or Egress list filtering rules required for the
switch before forwarding a packet.
Each tag-based VLAN must be assigned a VLAN name and VLAN
ID. Valid VLAN IDs are from 1 to 4094. You can create up to 8
tag-based VLANs.
Metro mode is a quick configuration VLAN environment method used
for port-based VLANs. It will create 6 or 7 port-based VLAN groups.
Uplink Port
This option is only enabled when you select Metro mode from the
drop-down menu in Figure 4-5.
When you select 7 from the drop-down menu: Except for port 7, each
switch port can’t transmit packets to each other. Each port groups a
VLAN with Port 7, so a total of 7 groups consisting of two members
are formed.
When you select 7 and 8 from the drop-down menu: Except for ports
7 and 8, each switch port can’t transmit packets to each other. Each
port groups a VLAN with port 7 and port 8. A total of 6 groups
consisting of three members are formed.
State
Available only if you choose Tag-based VLAN from the drop-down
menu in Figure 4-5. When you select Enable from the drop-down
State menu, only tagged packets with this VID can manage the
switch.
VID
Type in a value between 1 and 4094.
