Configuring 802.1Q VLANs
Setting up an 802.1Q VLAN is a three-step process. First, create a VLAN
on the switch. Second, make sure that tagging is set up properly for your
attached devices. Third, configure those devices that don’t support tagging.
Step 1: Create an 802.1Q VLAN and add ports
1 On the Main Menu, select Configure VLAN.
Note: Make sure the switch’s current VLAN operation mode is set to
IEEE 802.1Q VLAN. Refer to “Configure VLAN Operation Mode”
earlier in this chapter to change the VLAN operation mode.
2 Select Create an IEEE 802.1Q VLAN and press E.
3 Type a name for the new VLAN (no spaces) and press E.
4 Type a VLAN ID (VID) and press E. The ID can be any number
from 2 to 4094.
5 Determine if you want to allow IGMP Snooping on this VLAN. This is
important because the switch can support more 802.1Q VLANs than the
maximum of 12 IGMP Snooping sessions available.
6 Select ports to add to the VLAN. Press z to toggle the
Member field to Yes.
7 Select the NEXT button and press E.
Step 2: Configure tagging for member ports
Note: If the device on a particular port does not support tags, configure that
port as untagged. Configuring a device as untagged ensures that the switch
removes tags from packets before they leave the switch for the device.
1 Press z to select Tag or Untag for each port that is a member of
the VLAN.
2 Select the DONE button and press E.
If you configured any of the ports in the VLAN as Untagged, proceed to
step 3, “Configure VLAN for untagged devices,” to configure ports for
untagged devices and associate those ports with a PVID (port VLAN ID).
