This matrix allows for real time management of up to 64 VLANs.
Figure 4-29: VLAN Membership
To add a port to a VLAN, position the cursor in the desired matrix location and toggle the options
with the SPACE bar.
A ‘U’ or ‘T’ will be displayed for each port assigned to the VLAN, where ‘U’ stands for untagged
and ‘T’ for tagged. If a port is an untagged member of a VLAN, the VLAN tag will be striped
from the frame before it is sent out that port. If the port is a tagged member of a VLAN, the
VLAN tag will stay in the frame when it is sent. A ‘_’ space indicates that the port is not a
member of the particular VLAN, and will not receive or forward any traffic for that VLAN. VLAN
tagging is a standard set by the IEEE to facilitate the spanning of VLANs across multiple switches.
(Reference: Appendix B and IEEE Std 802.1Q-1998 Virtual Bridged Local Area Networks).

All untagged packets entering the switch will by default be tagged with the ID specified by the
port’s PVID.
