Configure 802.1Q Vlans - D-Link DES-3624 Series User Manual

Configure 802.1Q VLANs

To configure an 802.1Q VLAN, you must do three things:
1. Decide if you want to enable Ingress Filtering and enable it on the chosen ports. Ingress filtering applied
on a port causes the port to examine all incoming packets and check whether the port itself is a member of
the VLAN. This is normally used to keep untagged frames off the Switch, although it can have other uses
as well. This setting is configurable for each port in the Ingress Filtering Check screen.
2. Define which ports will be active members of the VLAN. A port can transmit packets onto only one VLAN.
It can receive packets (be a passive member) on many VLANs. Active VLANs are designations defined by
assigning Port VLAN ID numbers (PVIDs) in the Default port VLAN assignment screen.
3. Define the VLAN itself and which ports will be members (able to receive packets from a port that has this
PVID number). At this point, you need to designate whether a member port will be a Tagging or
Untagging member port. Defining the ports that will be members of a VLAN, and whether they will Tag or
Untag packets is done in the 802.1Q Static VLAN Settings screen.
Choose Configure 802.1Q VLANs on the VLAN Configuration screen (System Configuration
Configure VLANs & MAC-based Broadcast Domains) to access the 802.1Q VLAN Configuration menu
pictured below (note that if you have just changed to this mode, you must also reboot the Switch before being
able to work with IEEE 802.1Q VLANs):
