7.2 802.1Q VLAN CONFIGURATION MENU SCREEN
When to Use
To select screens to assign switched network ports to static VLANs, define new VLANs, and
configure port filtering according to a VLAN list. Network users can be logically grouped into
VLANs even if they span long physical distances over a vast, intricate physical network.
The VLAN Local Management menu items listed on the 802.1Q VLAN Configuration Menu
screen allow such VLANs to be configured on a network at the switched port of the SmartSwitch
device. Each port mode of operation can also be configured to handle untagged frames (Hybrid
Mode), tagged frames (1Q Trunk Mode), or frames of a legacy 802.1D switch fabric (1D Trunk
Mode). Also, some or all of the ports on the switch can be configured as GVRP ports, which
enables dynamic VLAN registration. This keeps the traffic associated with a particular VLAN and
protocol to be isolated from the other parts of the network.
NOTE: There is a global setting for GVRP that is enabled by default. Refer to Table 7- 6
for more information.
