Port VLAN Configuration
Allows review and editing of the port’s VLAN properties. These properties are only
shown if VLANs have been enabled.
Plan the VLAN layout first. The creation of a map of the network, showing which devices
and which ports to associate with a given VLAN, is strongly recommended prior to
configuration.
Once the VLAN range is set from the Base Configuration menu, by default a port is set
as Untagged (Normal) with a VLAN ID# of 1, or the lowest number of the VLAN range, if
the range starts with an ID# higher than 1. Ports set as Untagged only transmit data
packets in the VLAN specified by the ID# and are typically connected to end equipment.
A port may also be set as a Tagged (Uplink) port. A Tagged port does not require a
VLAN ID#, and this option will not be shown. Ports set as Tagged transmit all data
packets regardless of the packet’s VLAN ID. Tagged ports are typically connected to
other switches.
