VLAN Tab:
In the VLAN tab the following parameters are configured:
VLAN ID:
Can be configured in the range 1 to 4094.
VLAN ID is the identification of the VLAN, which is basically used by the standard 802.1Q.
It has 12 bits which allows the identification of 4096 (2^12) VLANs.
Of the 4096 possible VIDs, a VID of 0 is used to identify priority frames and value 4095 (FFF) is reserved.
Maximum possible VLAN configurations are therefore set to 4094.
VLAN Priority:
Can be configured in the range 0 to 7.
Set by the Priority Code Point (PCP), a 3-bit field which refers to the IEEE 802.1p priority.
It indicates the frame priority level from 0 (lowest) to 7 (highest), which can be used to prioritize different
classes of traffic (voice, video, data, etc.).
Type:
The following selections are possible:
8100 (IEEE 802.1Q tagged frame)
88a8 (IEEE 802.1ad Provider Bridging)
Drop Eligible:
If enabled, drop eligibility flag will be set.
VLAN Flooding:
Enable/Disable.
VLAN Flooding Range:
Specifies the number of VLAN IDs. Enter a number from 0-4096. The VLAN IDs will be
incremented by 1 until it reaches the number of times entered in the flood range.
