RocketLinx Technical Tips
Adding a Port as a Member to a VLAN
The Static VLAN Configuration table lists each VLAN with a drop-down box for each port on the switch.
Each drop-down box has the options of U for untagged, T for tagged, and a dashed line that denotes the port is not a
member of that VLAN.
• Untagged ports do not attach VLAN tags to packets.
Packets tagged for a particular VLAN are forwarded to all
ports that are untagged members of that VLAN. Therefore
any ports that are connected to devices that are not VLAN
aware (almost all devices with the exception of networking
devices such as switches and access points).
• Tagged ports attach VLAN tags to packets. Tagged packets
are forwarded to other VLAN aware devices (for example,
switches). Switches that received tagged packets for a VLAN
forward those packets to any of its ports that are untagged
members of that VLAN.
Use this procedure to add a port to a VLAN.
1. If you have not done so, navigate to the VLAN Configuration page.
2. To add an untagged port to a VLAN set the drop-down box for that port and
VLAN to U. The following image shows Port 1 being added as an untagged
port to the VLAN named
Quad_2
.
3. Click the Apply button or optionally configure additional ports before clicking
the Apply button.
4. To add a tagged port to a VLAN set the drop-down box for that port and
VLAN to T. The following image shows Port 2 being added as a
tagged port to a VLAN named
Quad_2
.
