Configuring the VLAN Egress List

Purpose

To assign or remove ports on the egress list of a particular VLAN. This determines which ports on
the switch will be eligible to transmit frames for a particular VLAN. For example, ports 1, 5, 7, 8
could be allowed to transmit frames belonging to VLAN 20 and ports 7,8, 9, 10 could be allowed to
transmit frames tagged with VLAN 30 (a port can belong to multiple VLAN Egress lists). Note
that the Port Egress list for ports 7 and 8 would contain both VLAN 20 and 30.
The port egress type for all ports can be set to tagged, forbidden, or untagged. In general, VLANs
have no egress (except for VLAN 1) until they are configured by static administration, or through
dynamic mechanisms such as GVRP.
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. Frames sent between
VLAN aware switches are typically tagged.
The default VLAN defaults its egress to untagged for all ports.
