Selecting a VLAN Mode

The following procedure explains how to select a VLAN mode. Available
modes are:

ˆ

User-configured VLAN mode (port-based, tagged, MAC address-
based, and protected ports VLANs)

ˆ

IEEE 802.1Q Compliant Multiple VLAN mode

ˆ

Non-IEEE 802.1Q Compliant Multiple VLAN mode

Note

All current VLANs on the switch are delete when the VLAN mode is
changed from the user-configured mode to a multiple VLAN mode
and, at some point, the switch is reset. The VLANs must be
recreated if you later 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 163 on page 474.

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.

If you enter Q or M, the following prompt is displayed:

Enter Uplink VLAN Port number -> [1 to 24] ->

4. Enter the port number on the switch that will function as the uplink port

for the other ports. You can specify only one port.

The following prompt is displayed:

SUCCESS
