–

Click

Delete

.

•

To change a VLAN name:

–

Select the check box to the left of the VLAN ID that you want to change.

–

Enter a new name in the

Advanced—VLAN Configuration

The Advanced VLAN Configuration screen is identical to the Basic VLAN Configuration screen.

See the previous section.

Advanced—VLAN Membership

The VLAN Membership screen lets you set the VLAN membership of each port. The screen

functions differently for port-based VLANs than it does for IEEE 802.1Q VLANs.

IEEE 802.1Q VLAN Membership

To configure VLAN membership for IEEE 802.1Q VLANs:

1.

Select Switching > VLAN > Basic > VLAN Membership. A screen similar to the following

displays.

Note:

By default, every port is a member of VLAN 1, which has a port VLAN ID

(PVID) of 1.

2.

From the

VLAN Identifier

drop-down list, select the number that represents the VLAN you

want to view or modify.

You can either assign the same tag setting to or remove it from all ports in the VLAN in

step 3

,

or assign a tag setting to or remove it from each individual port in the VLAN in

step 4

. These

steps are mutually exclusive.

3.

To assign the same tag setting to or remove it from all ports in the VLAN, toggle the check

box to the left of Unit 1. The tag setting determines if packets that are transmitted from each

port are tagged with the VLAN ID and other information. The possible tag settings are:

–

T

. Specifies that the egress (outgoing) packet is tagged for all ports.

–

U

. Specifies that the egress packet is untagged for all ports.

–

Empty. Specifies that none of the ports are part of the VLAN.

4.

To assign a tag setting to or remove it from an individual port in the VLAN:

a.

Click

Unit 1

. A screen similar to the following displays.

b.

Assign a tag setting to or remove it from a port by toggling the check box under an

individual port number. The tag settings determine if packets that are transmitted from the

port are tagged with the VLAN ID and other information. The possible tag settings are:

–

T

. Specifies that the egress packet is tagged for the port.

–

U

. Specifies that the egress packet is untagged for the port.

–

Empty. Specifies that the port is not part of the VLAN.

Port-Based VLAN Membership

To configure VLAN membership for port-based VLANs:

1.

Select Switching > VLAN > Advanced > VLAN Membership. A screen similar to the

following displays.

.

2.

From the

VLAN Identifier

drop-down list, select the number that represents the VLAN you

want to view or modify.

You can either assign all ports to or remove them from the VLAN in

step 3

, or assign

individual ports to or remove them from the VLAN in

step 4

. These steps are mutually

exclusive.

3.

To assign all ports to or remove them from the VLAN, select the check box to the left of

Unit 1.

4.

To assign individual ports to or remove them from the VLAN:

a.

Click

Unit 1

. A screen similar to the following displays.

port number.

to confirm any settings changes.

Advanced—Port PVID Configuration

The Port PVID Configuration screen lets you assign a port VLAN ID (PVID) to an interface.

There are certain requirements for a PVID:

•

All ports must have a defined PVID.

•

If no other value is specified, the default VLAN PVID is used.

•

If you want to change the port’s default PVID, you must first create a VLAN group that

includes the port.

Figure 4-12

Note:

When the port-based VLAN type is configured, an ingress (incoming) packet with

an IEEE 802.1Q tag is ignored and preserved.

To configure PVIDs:

1.

Select Switching > VLAN > Advanced > Port PVID Configuration. A screen similar to the

following displays.

2.

You can make changes to the port PVID settings for an individual port or for a group of ports:

•

To change the port PVID setting for an individual port, select the check box to the left of

its port number, and then enter an existing VLAN ID in the

PVID

field.

•

To change the port PVID settings for a group of ports, select the check boxes to the left of

their port numbers, and then enter an existing VLAN ID in the

PVID

fields.

The following information about the port PVID settings is displayed:

•

PVID

. Specifies the ID of an existing VLAN.
