Assigning Ports to Multiple VLANs

Assigning Ports to Multiple VLANs
ESW 500 Series Switches Administration Guide
Before enabling VLANs for the switch, you must first assign each port to the VLAN
group(s) in which it will participate. By default all ports are assigned to VLAN 1 as
untagged ports. Add a port as a tagged port if you want it to carry traffic for one or
more VLANs, and any intermediate network devices or the host at the other end of
the connection supports VLANs. Then assign ports on the other VLAN-aware
network devices along the path that will carry this traffic to the same VLAN(s),
either manually or dynamically using GVRP. However, if you want a port on this
switch to participate in one or more VLANs, but none of the intermediate network
devices nor the host at the other end of the connection supports VLANs, then you
should add this port to the VLAN as an untagged port.
Note: VLAN-tagged frames can pass through VLAN-aware or VLAN-unaware
network interconnection devices, but the VLAN tags should be stripped off before
passing it on to any end-node host that does not support VLAN tagging.
