Adding or modifying dual mode ports
You can configure an interface in a VLAN as a dual mode port by assigning it as a tagged port to
one VLAN and as an untagged port to another VLAN. You can add a dual mode port to any VLAN
except the default VLAN, VLAN 1.
NOTE
Dual mode is not supported on Network OS products.
To add or modify a dual mode port, perform the following steps.
1. Follow the steps in “Adding or modifying port VLANs” on page 1305 to familiarize yourself with
adding tagged and untagged ports to a VLAN.
2. Select Configuration Manager > VLAN Manager.
The VLAN Manager dialog box - VLAN View tab displays.
3. Click the Product View tab.
4. Click Add.
5. From the Available Ports list on the Ports tab of the Add VLAN dialog box, select the interface
that will be added as a dual mode port.
6. Select a VLAN from the Select VLANs list.
7. Click the Untag button to assign the port as an untagged port to the selected VLAN. The
Selected Ports list shows the interface listed under the VLAN to which it was assigned.
8. Select the same interface from the Available Ports list.
9. Select another VLAN from the Select VLANs list.
10. Click the Tag button to assign the port as a tagged port to the second VLAN. The Selected Ports
list shows the port as untagged under one VLAN and tagged under another VLAN.
Assigning DCB ports to a VLAN
In Data Center Bridging (DCB) switches, the L2 interface mode of the port determines whether a
port can be in an untagged, tagged, or converged mode.
Table 134 shows the L2 mode and tagged
mode compatibility on the DCB interface.
NOTE
To make L2 interface mode changes, you must have the DCB Management privilege.
You can change the L2 interface mode of a port using the Add LAG dialog box. Refer to “Adding a
LAG” on page 685 for instructions.
