  • Page 124: Vlan Addition And Deletion Example

    VLAN Addition and Deletion Example The screen capture below is the factory default VLAN configuration. Clicking on the “Modify” button allows one to add a new VLAN: Page 124 of 138 (Revised 8/3/2009)
  • Page 125 When creating a new VLAN, a numeric ID is required, Name is entered. Note that N-Ring VLAN is a reserved name with a special meaning. Choices such as “Allow Management” and “Change PVID of Member Ports” are made at this time as well as the ports which are going to belong to the new VLAN. Additionally, the ports may be “Untagged on Egress”.
  • Page 126 The ports of ”New VLAN” may be added back to “Default VLAN” to create overlapping VLANs. Note: If there are multiple ports on different VLANs, the 7018 will apply the static multicast address to the lowest VLAN-ID that is associated with one of the ports assigned to the static multicast address. If the lowest VLAN-ID contains all the ports assigned to the static multicast address (an umbrella VLAN), it will function for all those ports with no problems.
  • Page 127 Page 127 of 138 (Revised 8/3/2009)
  • Page 128 And the “New VLAN” is removed. Note that the new configuration of the switch must be saved if the configuration must survive a power cycle. Page 128 of 138 (Revised 8/3/2009)
  • Page 129 Page 129 of 138 (Revised 8/3/2009)

  • Page 130: Vlan Configuration Examples

    Broadcast, Multicast, and Unicast frames in one VLAN will not interfere with another isolated VLAN group. The examples in this section are shown as configured on a 708TX switch, but the 7018 series may be configured similarly with the additional ports.
