Chapter 20: Port-based and Tagged VLANs
324 Secton V: Virtual LANs
Selecting a VLAN Mode
The AT-S63 Management Software features three VLAN modes:
 User Configured Port-based and tagged VLAN Mode (default mode)
 IEEE 802.1Q-compliant Multiple VLAN Mode
 Non-IEEE 802.1Q compliant Multiple VLAN Mode
For background information, refer to the AT-S63 Management Software
Features Guide.
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 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 for the switch, perform the procedure below:
1. From the home page, select Configuration.
2. From the Configuration menu, select the Layer 2 option.
3. Select the VLAN tab. The VLAN tab is shown in Figure 128 on page
316.
4. In the VLAN Mode section, select a VLAN mode. Only one mode can
be active on the switch at a time. The modes are:
User Configured - Port-based and tagged VLAN Mode
Multiple - Non-IEEE 802.1Q-compliant Multiple VLAN Mode
Multiple 802.1Q - IEEE 802.1Q-compliant Multiple VLAN Mode
5. If you are selecting one of the multiple VLAN modes, specify an uplink
port in the Uplink Port field. This port functions as the uplink port for
the VLANs. The default is port 1.
