parameters for the Switch.
• Use the

settings on a port.
• Use the

voice traffic with defined priority and enable the Switch port to carry the voice traffic separately from
data traffic to ensure the sound quality does NOT deteriorate.
• Use the
MAC Ba se d VL AN Se tup
group untagged packets into logical VLANs based on the source MAC address of the packet. This
eliminates the need to reconfigure the Switch when you change ports. The Switch will forward the
packets based on the source MAC address you set up previously.
• Use the
Ve ndo r ID Ba se d VL AN Se tup
to group untagged packets into logical VLANs based on the source MAC address of the packet. You
can specify a mask for the MAC address to create a MAC address filter and enter a weight to set the
VLAN rule's priority.
• Use the
Po rt- Ba se d VL AN Se tup
forwarding decision is based on the destination MAC address and its associated port.

IEEE 802.1Q T a g g e d VL ANs
A tagged VLAN uses an explicit tag (VLAN ID) in the MAC header to identify the VLAN membership of a
frame across bridges
be created statically by hand. The VLAN ID associates a frame with a specific VLAN and provides the
information that switches need to process the frame across the network. A tagged frame is 4 bytes
longer than an untagged frame and contains 2 bytes of TPID (Tag Protocol Identifier, residing within the
type/length field of the Ethernet frame) and 2 bytes of TCI (Tag Control Information, starts after the
source address field of the Ethernet frame).
