VLAN ID List

You can use this screen to create a new VLAN or delete or reconfigure an existing VLAN. Use this pull-down menu to select one of the existing VLANs, or select Create to add a new one.

VLAN ID - Individual/ Range

When Create is select from the VLAN ID List, specify the VLAN Identifier for the new VLAN. You can also enter a range of VLAN IDs.

VLAN Name

Use this optional field to specify a name for the VLAN. It can be up to 32 alphanumeric characters long, including blanks. The default is blank. VLAN ID 1 is always named "Default."

VLAN Type

This field identifies the type of the VLAN you are configuring. You cannot change the type of the default VLAN (VLAN ID = 1): it is always type "Default." When you create a VLAN, using this screen, its type will always be "Static." A VLAN that is created by GVRP registration initially has a type of "Dynamic." You can use this pull-down menu to change its type to "Static".

Participation All

Select this field to apply the same VLAN participation and tagging settings to all ports.

Use this field to specify whether all the ports will participate in this VLAN. The factory default is Autodetect. The possible values are:

• Include: All the ports are always a member of this VLAN. This is equivalent to registration fixed in the IEEE 802.1Q standard.
• Exclude: All the ports are never a member of this VLAN. This is equivalent to registration forbidden in the IEEE 802.1Q standard.
• Autodetect: Specifies that all ports may be dynamically registered in this VLAN via GVRP. All ports will not participate in this VLAN unless it receives a GVRP request. This is equivalent to registration normal in the IEEE 802.1Q standard.

Tagging All

Select the tagging behavior for all the ports in this VLAN. The factory default is Untagged. The possible values are:

• Tagged: All frames transmitted for this VLAN will be tagged.
• Untagged: All frames transmitted for this VLAN will be untagged.

VLAN Participation

Select this field to specify per-port VLAN participation and tagging settings.

Interface

Indicates which port is associated with the fields on this line.

Status

Indicates the current value of the participation parameter for the port.

Participation

Use this field to specify whether a port will participate in this VLAN. The factory default is "Autodetect." The possible values are:

• Include: This port is always a member of this VLAN. This is equivalent to registration fixed in the IEEE 802.1Q standard.
• Exclude: This port is never a member of this VLAN. This is equivalent to registration forbidden in the IEEE 802.1Q standard.
• Autodetect: Specifies that port may be dynamically registered in this VLAN through GVRP. The port will not participate in this VLAN unless it receives a GVRP request. This is equivalent to registration normal in the IEEE 802.1Q standard.

Tagging

Select the tagging behavior for this port in this VLAN. The factory default is "Untagged." The possible values are:

• Tagged: all frames transmitted for this VLAN will be tagged.
• Untagged: all frames transmitted for this VLAN will be untagged.

VLAN ID

The VLAN Identifier (VID) of the VLAN. The range of the VLAN ID is 1 to 4093.

VLAN Name

The name of the VLAN. VLAN ID 1 is always named Default.

VLAN Type

The VLAN type, which can be one of the following:

• Default: (VLAN ID = 1) -- always present
• Static: A VLAN you have configured
• Dynamic: A VLAN created by GVRP registration that you have not converted to static, and that GVRP may therefore remove.

Interface

Select the interface for which you want to display or configure data. Select All to set the parameters for all ports to same values.

Port VLAN ID

Specify the VLAN ID you want assigned to untagged or priority tagged frames received on this port. The factory default is 1.

Acceptable Frame Types

Specify how you want the port to handle untagged and priority tagged frames. Whichever you select, VLAN tagged frames will be forwarded in accordance with the IEEE 802.1Q VLAN standard. The factory default is Admit All.

• VLAN Only: The port will discard any untagged or priority tagged frames it receives.
• Admit All: Untagged and priority tagged frames received on the port will be accepted and assigned the value of the Port VLAN ID for this port.

Ingress Filtering

Specify how you want the port to handle tagged frames:

• Enable: A tagged frame will be discarded if this port is not a member of the VLAN identified by the VLAN ID in the tag.
• Disable: All tagged frames will be accepted. The factory default is disable.

Port Priority

Specify the default 802.1p priority assigned to untagged packets arriving at the port.

Interface

Identifies the physical interface associated with the rest of the data in the row.

Port VLAN ID Configured

Identifies the VLAN ID assigned to untagged or priority-tagged frames received on this port. The factory default is 1.

Port VLAN ID Current

Displays the actual VLAN ID in use for the port. If the port was acquired by another module, the actual value may differ from the configured VLAN ID.

Acceptable Frame Types

Indicates how the port handles untagged and priority tagged frames.

• VLAN Only: The port discards any untagged or priority tagged frames it receives.
• Admit All: Untagged and priority tagged frames received on the port are accepted and assigned the value of the Port VLAN ID for this port.

Ingress Filtering

Shows how the port handles tagged frames

• Enable: A tagged frame is discarded if this port is not a member of the VLAN identified by the VLAN ID in the tag.
• Disable: All tagged frames are accepted, which is the factory default.

Port Priority

Identifies the default 802.1p priority assigned to untagged packets arriving at the port.

Base VLAN ID

The Base VLAN ID for Internal allocation of VLANs to the routing interface.

Allocation Policy

Allocation Policy for VLAN ID in ascending or descending order.
