Help for VLAN Port Summary

Slot/Port - The interface.
Port VLAN ID - The VLAN ID that this port will assign to untagged frames or priority tagged frames received on this port.
Acceptable Frame Types - Specifies the types of frames that may be received on this port. The options are 'VLAN only' and 'Admit All'. When set to 'VLAN only', untagged frames or priority tagged frames received on this port are discarded. When set to 'Admit All', untagged frames or priority tagged frames received on this port are accepted and assigned the value of the Port VLAN ID for this port. With either option, VLAN tagged frames are forwarded in accordance to the 802.1Q VLAN specification.
Ingress Filtering - When enabled, the frame is discarded if this port is not a member of the VLAN with which this frame is associated. In a tagged frame, the VLAN is identified by the VLAN ID in the tag. In an untagged frame, the VLAN is the Port VLAN ID specified for the port that received this frame. When disabled, all frames are forwarded in accordance with the 802.1Q VLAN bridge specification. The factory default is disabled.
Port Priority - Specifies the default 802.1p priority assigned to untagged packets arriving at the port.

VLAN ID and Name - You can use this screen to reconfigure an existing VLAN, or to create a new one. Use this pulldown menu to select one of the existing VLANs, or select 'Create' to add a new one.

VLAN ID - Specify the VLAN Identifier for the new VLAN. (You can only enter data in this field when you are creating a new VLAN.) The range of the VLAN ID is (1 to 4041) .
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 always has a name of '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 may use this pulldown menu to change its type to 'Static'.
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 via 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:

Slot/Port - Indicates which port is associated with the fields on this line.
Status - Indicates the current value of the participation parameter for the port.

Submit - Update the switch with the values on this screen. If you want the switch to retain the new values across a power cycle, you must perform a save.
Delete - Delete this VLAN. You are not allowed to delete the default VLAN.

This page displays the status of all currently configured VLANs.

VLAN ID - The VLAN Identifier (VID) of the VLAN. The range of the VLAN ID is (1 to 4041) .
VLAN Name - The name of the VLAN. VLAN ID 1 is always named `Default`.
VLAN Type - The VLAN type:
- 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

Slot/Port - Select the physical 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. If you select 'VLAN only', the port will discard any untagged or priority tagged frames it receives. If you select '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. Whichever you select, VLAN tagged frames will be forwarded in accordance with the IEEE 802.1Q VLAN standard. The factory default is 'Admit All'.
Ingress Filtering - Specify how you want the port to handle tagged frames. If you enable Ingress Filtering on the pulldown menu, a tagged frame will be discarded if this port is not a member of the VLAN identified by the VLAN ID in the tag. If you select disable from the pulldown menu, 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.

Submit - Update the switch with the values on this screen. If you want the switch to retain the new values across a power cycle, you must perform a save.

Reset - If you select this button and confirm your selection on the next screen, all VLAN configuration parameters will be reset to their factory default values. Also, all VLANs, except for the default VLAN, will be deleted. The factory default values are:

All ports are assigned to the default VLAN of 1.
All ports are configured with a PVID of 1.
All ports are configured to an Acceptable Frame Types value of Admit All Frames.
All ports are configured with Ingress Filtering disabled.
All ports are configured to transmit only untagged frames.
GVRP is disabled on all ports and all dynamic entries are cleared.
GVRP is disabled for the switch and all dynamic entries are cleared.
