Chapter 26: Multiple VLAN Modes
512 Section VI: Virtual LANs
Selecting a VLAN Mode
The following procedure explains how to select a VLAN mode. Available
modes are:
 User-configured VLAN mode (port-based, tagged, MAC address-
based, and protected ports VLANs)
 IEEE 802.1Q Compliant Multiple VLAN mode
 Non-IEEE 802.1Q Compliant Multiple VLAN mode
Note
If you want to change the switch’s VLAN mode to one of the multiple
VLAN modes, you need to provide an uplink port, as explained in the
procedure. If you are managing the switch remotely with Telnet or
the Secure Shell protocol and if your remote workstation is
communicating with the switch through any port other than the
uplink port, your management session will end and you will have to
use a local management session to continue managing the unit.
Note
The switch does not retain port-based and tagged VLAN
configurations when it is changed to a multiple VLAN mode and later
reset. The VLAN configurations must be reentered if you return the
switch to the user configured VLAN mode.
To select a VLAN mode, perform the following procedure:
1. From the Main Menu, type 2 to select VLAN Configuration.
The VLAN Configuration menu is shown in Figure 170 on page 470.
2. From the VLAN Configuration menu, type 2 to select VLANs Mode.
The following prompt is displayed:
Enter VLAN Mode (U-UserConfig, M-Multiple, Q-802.1Q
Multiple VLANs) ->
3. Select one of the following VLAN modes:
Q - 802.1Q Multiple VLAN mode
M - Non-802.1Q compliant multiple VLAN mode
U - User-configured VLAN mode. Supports port-based, tagged, MAC
address-based, and protected ports VLANs. This is the default setting.
