VLAN Membership
In the VLAN Membership page, you define VLAN groups. The following options
are available:
- Show VLAN Select the VLAN for which you want to edit the membership
setting.
- Name User-defined name of the VLAN (1 - 32 characters)
- VLAN ID Numeric ID of the VLAN (1 - 4094)
- Remove VLAN checkbox Check this box to remove an existing VLAN
- Port/Trunk Toggle Buttons Select VLAN membership for each port or
trunk by toggling the value of the port/trunk button:
- <U>: Port is a member of the VLAN. All packets transmitted by
the port will be untagged, that is, not carry a tag and therefore not
carry VLAN or Class of Service (CoS) information.
- <T>: Port is a member of the VLAN. All packets transmitted by
the port will be tagged, that is, carry a tag and therefore carry VLAN
or CoS information.
- <F>: Port is forbidden from automatically joining the VLAN via
GARP VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP). (The "forbidden" option
is not implemented for the current firmware version.)
- <BLANK>: Port is not a member of the VLAN. Packets associated
with this VLAN will not be transmitted by the port.
The VLAN tagging option is a standard set by the IEEE to facilitate the spanning
of VLANs across multiple switches. For more information, see Using
VLANs or the IEEE Std 802.1Q-1998 Virtual Bridged Local Area Networks.
