Figure 3-25. Port Based VLAN Configuration Menu
3.8. 802.1Q VLAN Configuration
When configuring the IEEE802.1Q VLAN, there are slightly different options available
when the port is configured on the console screen or the web browser. A port on a
VLAN can be in one of three different states.
x Normal where the port is not mapped to a specific VLAN but can become a
member through Dynamic VLAN registration. Dynamic VLANs are set when
GVRP learns them. Unless GVRP is running, there is no registration of dynamic
VLANs.
x Fixed registration maps a port to a specific or fixed VLAN. The network
administrator can "fix" a VLAN to a specific port with this option. The port can also
be set to another VLAN by dynamic VLAN registration.
x Forbidden ports cannot participate in the designated VLAN. They cannot be fixed
members or members of dynamic VLANs. When set to forbidden, the port cannot
communicate with any ports on this VLAN.
