„ 802.1Q VLAN Port Configuration
This page is used for configuring the Industrial Switch port VLAN. The VLAN per Port Configuration page contains fields
for managing ports that are part of a VLAN. The port default VLAN ID (PVID) is configured on the VLAN Port Configuration
page. All untagged packets arriving to the device are tagged by the ports PVID.
Understand nomenclature of the Switch
■ IEEE 802.1Q Tagged and Untagged
Every port on an 802.1Q compliant switch can be configured as tagged or untagged.
• Tagged
(Trunk Link)
Ports with tagging enabled will put the VID number, priority and other VLAN information into the
header of all packets that flow into those ports. If a packet has previously been tagged, the port
will not alter the packet, thus keeping the VLAN information intact. The VLAN information in the
tag can then be used by other 802.1Q compliant devices on the network to make
packet-forwarding decisions.
• Untgged
(Access Link)
Ports with untagging enabled will strip the 802.1Q tag from all packets that flow into those
ports. If the packet doesn't have an 802.1Q VLAN tag, the port will not alter the packet. Thus,
all packets received by and forwarded by an untagging port will have no 802.1Q VLAN
information. (Remember that the PVID is only used internally within the Switch). Untagging is
used to send packets from an 802.1Q-compliant network device to a non-compliant network
device.

Leave port is tagged Frame remains tagged Tag is inserted
Leave port is untagged Tag is removed Frame remain untagged
Here pay attention to the explaining of “Access”, “Trunk” and “Hybrid”.
。 Access: Ports will strip the 802.1Q tag from all packets that out of those ports. If the packet doesn’t have an 802.1Q
VLAN tag, the port will not alter the packet. Thus, all packets received by and forwarded by an untagging port will
have no 802.1Q VLAN information. Untagging is used to send packets from an 802.1Q-compliant network device to
a non-compliant network device.
Ports with “Access” mode belong to a single untagged VLAN.
。 Trunk: Ports with tagging enabled will put the VID number, priority and other VLAN information into the header of all
packets that out of those ports. If a packet has previously been tagged, the port will not alter the packet, thus
keeping the VLAN information intact. The VLAN information in the tag can then be used by other 802.1Q compliant
devices on the network to make packet forwarding decisions.
