NOTE
It is important to determine which
devices on your network support
tag-based VLANs and which do
not, before you start this proce-

How to configure 802.1Q VLANs
Setting up a 802.1Q VLAN is a two-step process. The first step is to create a
VLAN on the switch and assign member ports. The second step requires
you to make sure that tagging is set up properly for your attached devices.
For those devices that don't support tagging an extra configuration step is
required.
Step 1: Create an 802.1Q VLAN and add ports
1 From the Main Menu, select Configure VLAN.
Note: Make sure the switch's current VLAN operation mode is set to
IEEE 802.1Q VLAN. Refer to "Configure VLAN Operation Mode" in
Chapter 5 to change the VLAN operation mode.
2 Select Create an IEEE 802.1Q VLAN and press E.
3 Type a name for the new VLAN (no spaces) and press E.
4 Type a VLAN ID and press E. The ID number can be any number
from 2 to 4094.
5 Determine if you want to allow IGMP Snooping on this VLAN. This is
important since the switch can support more 802.1Q VLANs than the
maximum of 12 IGMP Snooping sessions available.
6 Select ports to add to the VLAN. Use z to toggle the
Member field to Yes.
7 Select the NEXT button and press E.
Step 2: Configure tagging for member ports
If the device on a particular port does not support tags, configure that port as
untagged. Configuring a device as untagged ensures that the switch removes
tags from packets before they leave the switch for the device. If you
configure a port as untagged, proceed to step 3 (Configure VLAN for
untagged devices) when you are finished with step 2.
1 Press z to select Tag or Untag for each port that is a member of
the VLAN.
2 Select the DONE button and press E.
If you configured any of the ports in the VLAN as Untagged, proceed to
step 3 to configure ports for untagged devices and associate those ports with
a PVID (port VLAN ID).
