Important rules for VLANs
Make sure you keep to the following rules when configuring and operating your VLANs:
● Frames with the VLAN ID "0" are handled as untagged frames but retain their priority
value.
● As default, all ports on the device send frames without a VLAN tag to ensure that the end
node can receive these frames.
● With SCALANCE X devices, the VLAN ID "1" is the default on all ports.
● If an end node is connected to a port, outgoing frames should be sent without a tag (static
access port). If, however, there is a further switch at this port, the frame should have a
tag added (trunk port).
Steps in configuration
1. Enter an ID in the "VLAN ID" input box.
2. Click the "Create" button. A new entry is generated in the table. As default, the boxes
have "-" entered.
3. Enter a name for the VLAN under Name.
4. Specify the use of the port in the VLAN. If, for example you select M, the port is a
member of the VLAN. The frame sent in this VLAN is forwarded with the corresponding
VLAN tag.
5. Click the "Set Values" button.

The port is not a member of the VLAN.
With a new definition, all ports have the identifier "-".
The port is a member of the VLAN. Frames sent in this VLAN are forwarded with the
corresponding VLAN tag.
The port is an untagged member of the VLAN. Frames sent in this VLAN are
forwarded without the VLAN tag. Frames without a VLAN tag are sent from this port.
The port is an untagged member of the VLAN, but the VLAN is not configured as a
port VLAN. Frames sent in this VLAN are forwarded without the VLAN tag.
The port is not a member of the specified VLAN and cannot become a member of this
VLAN even if it is configured as a trunk port.
