Section III: VLANs 279
Selecting a VLAN Mode
The AT-S63 management software features three VLAN modes:
❑ 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 on port-based and tagged VLANs, refer to
Chapter 19, “Port-based and Tagged VLANs,” in the AT-S63 Management
Software Menus Interface User’s Guide. For information on the multiple
VLAN modes, refer to Chapter 20, “Multiple VLANs,” in the AT-S63
Management Software Menus Interface User’s Guide.
Note
Any port-based or tagged VLANs that you may have created are not
retained when you change the VLAN mode from the user
configured mode to a multiple VLAN mode and, at some point, reset
the switch. The user configured VLAN information is lost and you
must recreate the information if you later 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.
The System page is displayed with the General tab selected by
default, as shown in Figure 5 on page 40.
2. From the Configuration menu, select the Layer 2 option.
The Layer 2 page is displayed with the MAC Address tab selected
by default, as shown in Figure 23 on page 90.
3. Select the VLAN tab.
The VLAN tab is shown in Figure 103 on page 272.
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
