How to Configure 802.1Q VLAN

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 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 24 IGMP snooping sessions available.
6 Press the z to display the switch you want to configure.
7 Select ports to add to the VLAN. Use z to toggle the Member
field to Yes.
8 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. This 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 APPLY 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).
