802.1Q VLAN
Tagged-based VLAN is an IEEE 802.1Q specification standard. Therefore, it is possible to
create a VLAN across devices from different switch venders. IEEE 802.1Q VLAN uses a
technique to insert a “tag” into the Ethernet frames. Tag contains a VLAN Identifier (VID)
that indicates the VLAN numbers.
You can create Tag-based VLAN, and enable or disable GVRP protocol. There are 256
VLAN groups to provide configure. Enable 802.1Q VLAN, the all ports on the switch
belong to default VLAN, VID is 1. The default VLAN can’t be deleting.
GVRP allows automatic VLAN configuration between the switch and nodes. If the switch
is connected to a device with GVRP enabled, you can send a GVRP request using the
VID of a VLAN defined on the switch; the switch will automatically add that device to the
existing VLAN.
