Field Description
VLAN Name
Specifies the name of the VLAN for which ports are to be configured. The
name can be up to 32 characters. Once created, a VLAN name cannot be
modified.
VLAN Type
Specifies the type of VLAN. Use the spacebar to toggle the type to Port
Based VLAN.
Membership
Specifies the status of the port. You can enter the status indicators of
individual ports directly from the keyboard or you can use the spacebar to
toggle between M and -.
• M (member)—Designates the port as a static member.
• - (non-member)—Designates the port as not being a member of the
VLAN.
Field Description
VLAN Name
Specifies the name of the VLAN for which ports are to be configured. The
name can be up to 32 characters. Once created, the name cannot be
modified.
VLAN Type
Specifies the type of VLAN. Use the spacebar to toggle the type to 1Q
VLAN.
VID Specifies an identifier for the VLAN. Enter a number from 2—4094.
Membership
Specifies the status of the port. You can enter the status indicators of
individual ports directly from the keyboard or you can use the spacebar to
toggle between U, T, F, and -.
• U (Untagged)—Designates the port as an untagged member of the
VLAN. When an untagged packet is transmitted by the port, the packet
header remains unchanged. When a tagged packet exits the port, the
tag is stripped and the packet is changed to an untagged packet. If the
port is attached to a device that is not IEEE 802.1Q VLAN compliant
(VLAN-tag unaware), then the port should be set to untagged.
• T (Tagged)—Designates the port as a tagged member of the VLAN.
When an untagged packet is transmitted by the port, the packet header
is changed to include the 32-bit tag associated with the PVID (Port
VLAN Identifier). When a tagged packet with a different VID exits the
port, the packet header is unchanged. If the port is attached to a device
that is IEEE 802.1Q VLAN compliant, (VLAN-tag aware), then the port
can be set to tagged.
• F (Forbidden)—Designates the port as not being a member of the
VLAN and prevents packets tagged with the VLAN’s VID from entering
the port.
• - (non-member)—Designates the port as not being a member of the
VLAN.
