Figure 6- 36. 802.1Q Static VLANs Entry Settings - Modify
Description
Choose the Switch ID number of the Switch in the switch stack to be modified.
Allows the entry of a VLAN ID in the Add dialog box, or displays the VLAN ID of an
existing VLAN in the Modify dialog box. VLANs can be identified by either the VID or the
VLAN name.
Allows the entry of a name for the new VLAN in the Add dialog box, or will display the
VLAN name.
Enabling this function will allow the Switch to send out GVRP packets to outside
sources, notifying that they may join the existing VLAN.
Displays the type of protocol associated with this VLAN.
The following parameters allow for the creation of protocol-based VLANs. The Switch
supports 14 pre-configured protocol-based VLANs plus one user-defined protocol based
VLAN where the administrator may configure the settings for the appropriate protocol
and forwarding of packets (15 total). Selecting a specific protocol will indicate which
protocol will be utilized in determining the VLAN ownership of a tagged packet. Pre-set
protocol-based VLANs on the Switch include:
port – Using this parameter will allow the creation of a normal 802.1Q VLAN on the
Switch.
ip – Using this parameter will instruct the Switch to forward packets to this VLAN if the
tag in the packet header is concurrent with this protocol. This packet header information
is based on the Ethernet protocol.
rarp - Using this parameter will instruct the Switch to forward packets to this VLAN if the
tag in the packet header is concurrent with this protocol. This packet header information
is defined by the Reverse Address Resolution (RARP) Protocol.
ipx802dot3 - Using this parameter will instruct the Switch to forward packets to this
