Vlan Menu Command - Siemens SCALANCE W786-xPRO Operating Instructions Manual

5.6.6.3

VLAN menu command

Note
The "VLAN" menu command is available only in access point mode of a SCALANCE W78x.
Assignment and management of the VLAN IDs
The "Current VLAN Configuration" dialog displays a table with an overview of the configured
VLAN IDs (VID). The assignment of the configured ports of the access point is also
displayed as a member of these VLANs.
The "Name" is used to identify an entry within the current table. "Member List" displays 'U' for
untagged member of a VLANs or '–' if a port is not member of a VLAN. The sequence is
sorted from left to right in ascending order; in other words, according to the ID of the
interface (WLAN 1, WLAN 1 VAP 1, WLAN 2 VAP 2... or WLAN 1 WDS 1, WLAN 1 WDS
2...).
Entries in red, indicate members in the table, entries in black indicate the configured port
VLAN IDs.
If an interface is member of a VLAN ID, that is not the same as the port VID, frames arriving
from Ethernet with this VLAN ID are accepted. Outgoing frames, however, always have the
port VLAN ID.
Click on "VID" or "Name" to open the configuration page for VLAN IDs. With "New", you
create a new VLAN ID, with "Refresh", you can update the table.
Note
The Ethernet interface does not remove VLAN tags from outgoing frames.
If the VLAN is active, the WLAN interfaces always remove all VLAN tags from the outgoing
frames.

Description
If VID equals port VID; in other words untagged frames from WLAN are given this
VID.
If the port is a member of the VID; in other words, tagged frames from Ethernet are
forwarded on this port.
If the port is not a member of the VID; in other words, all the frames coming from
Ethernet are blocked / discarded with the corresponding VLAN ID. Frames containing
unconfigured VIDs and untagged frames are always blocked if the VLAN is active.
