Configuring The Vlan Egress List - Enterasys Matrix 2G4072-52 Configuration Manual

7.3.4

Configuring the VLAN Egress List

Purpose
To assign or remove ports on the egress list of a particular VLAN. This determines which ports will
be eligible to transmit frames for a particular VLAN. For example, ports 1, 5, 9, 8 could be assigned
to transmit frames belonging to VLAN 5 (VLAN ID=5).
The port egress type for all ports defaults to tagging transmitted frames, but can be changed to
forbidden or untagged. In general, VLANs have no egress (except for VLAN 1) until they are
configured by static administration, or through dynamic mechanisms (i.e., GVRP, policy
classification or Enterasys dynamic egress).
Setting a port to forbidden prevents it from participating in the specified VLAN and ensures that
any dynamic requests (either through GVRP or dynamic egress) for the port to join the VLAN will
be ignored. Setting a port to untagged allows it to transmit frames without a tag header. This setting
is usually used to configure a port connected to an end user device.
The default VLAN defaults its egress to untagged for all ports.
