802.1Q VLAN CONFIGURATION MENU SCREEN

When to Use
To select screens to assign switched network ports to static VLANs, define new static VLANs, and
configure port filtering according to a VLAN list. Network users can be logically grouped into
VLANs even if they span long physical distances over a vast, intricate physical network.
The VLAN Local Management menu items listed on the 802.1Q VLAN Configuration Menu
allow such VLANs to be configured on a network at the switched port of the switch module. Each
port mode of operation can also be configured to handle untagged frames (Hybrid Mode), tagged
frames (1Q Trunk Mode), or frames of a legacy 802.1D switch fabric (1D Trunk Mode). Also,
some or all of the ports on the switch can be configured as GVRP ports, which enables dynamic
VLAN registration. This keeps the traffic associated with a particular VLAN and protocol to be
isolated from the other parts of the network.
NOTE: There is a global setting for GVRP that is enabled by default. Refer to
for more information.
