Table 3-8 describes the VLAN Configuration screen fields.
Table 3-8. VLAN Configuration Screen Fields
Field Description
Create VLAN
Allows you to set up or view configured VLAN workgroups. Enter the number
of the new VLAN you want to create or view, then press [Return]. The Port
Membership fields indicate the corresponding VLAN workgroup configuration,
if configured, or all dashes (-), indicating no VLAN Members configured.
Alternatively, you can use the spacebar to toggle through the various
configured VLAN workgroups. You can only create up to 64 different VLANs.
Default 1
Range: 2 to 4094
Delete VLAN
Allows you to delete specified VLANs. Enter the number of the VLAN you want
to delete, then press [Return], or use the spacebar to toggle through the
selection until you reach the VLAN you want to delete, then press [Return].
The selected VLAN is deleted as soon as you press [Return]. The software
does not prompt you to reconsider this action.
You cannot delete VLAN 1. By default, all switch ports are assigned as
untagged members of VLAN 1 with all ports configured as PVID = 1). See
“IEEE 802.1Q VLAN Workgroups” on page 1-18 for more information.
Default blank field
Range: 2 to 4094
VLAN Name
Allows you to assign a name field to configured VLANs.
Default VLAN # (
VLAN number
)
Range: Any ASCII string of up to 16 printable characters
Port Membership
Allows you to assign switch ports as a tagged port member (T), untagged port
member (U), or as a non-VLAN port member (-). Switch ports can be
configured in one or more VLANs. An exception to this rule applies to the
gigabit MDAs (see note).
Note:
The gigabit MDAs restrict the configuration of VLAN tagging. The
gigabit MDA ports can be set up as tagged VLAN members or as untagged
VLAN members for a VLAN that has a VID which is equal to the port’s PVID.
For all other VLANs configured on that port the VLAN port membership will be
all
tagged or
all
untagged (see “VLAN Port Configuration” on page 3-24).
The Port Membership fields are displayed in six-port groups (for example, 1-6,
7-12, 13-18). The number of ports displayed depends on the switch model or
type of optional MDA installed in the Uplink Module slot.
Default Value: U (All ports are assigned as untagged members of VLAN 1.)
Range: U, T, and -
