Your options are as follows:


selected VLAN ID: ACT=NONE (default).
Edit the behavior attributes assigned to each port under the selected VLAN ID. Once

the VLAN ID targeted for editing is selected, use the
ACT parameter, and then use the
• Next, to change the behavior attribute of a specific port as needed, use the
to select P1, P2, P3, or P4. Then, use the
port as Tagged or Filtered for a Trunk port, or Untagged or Filtered for an Access port.
The "Untagged" option is available only when Port Mode has been set to Access
for the selected port.
You may not designate the behavior attributes for all four ports as "Filtered" –

Once the port attributes have been changed (with ACT=Edit active), press ENTER to save
those changes. ENTER must be pressed to save the change. CLEAR will discard the change.
You must take into consideration, when editing VLAN table entries, the following rules:
o The modem cannot filter VLAN 1.
o All Untagged/Tagged packets arriving at the LAN port are tagged (four byte VLAN
"frame" is added) with the configured VLAN ID.
o If the port is in Port Mode, any packet arriving from the WAN that matches this PVID
will have the VLAN tag removed and passed out the Ethernet.
o If the port is in Port Mode and the packet does not match the PVID, the VLAN table
must be checked to determine if the packet should pass. Packets leaving a port in Port
Mode are always untagged.
o If the port behavior Port Mode attribute is set to Trunk, then the VLAN table is
referenced to determine if the packet should pass. In this mode, packets will either be
filtered (dropped) or passed "as is" with the VLAN header intact.
ERROR: Entry with FILTERED on all ports
is not allowed.
