Configuring VLANs
The GbE Interconnect Switch reserves one VLAN, VID 1, also called the
DEFAULT_VLAN, for internal use. The factory default setting assigns all ports on the GbE
Interconnect Switch to the DEFAULT_VLAN. As new VLANs are configured, their
respective member ports are removed from the DEFAULT_VLAN. If the DEFAULT_VLAN
is reconfigured, all ports are again assigned to it. Ports that are not wanted as part of the
DEFAULT_VLAN are removed during the configuration.
Packets cannot cross VLANs. If a member of one VLAN wants to connect to another VLAN,
it must be through a router.
NOTE: The DEFAULT_VLAN has a VID equal to 1. An IP interface called System in the IP interface
entry menu also has a VID value of 1, and therefore corresponds to the DEFAULT_VLAN.
To edit VLAN definitions and to configure port settings for IEEE 802.1Q VLAN support:
1. Highlight Configure VLANs on the Configuration menu.
2. Press the Enter key. The following menu is displayed.
