VLAN Configuration

1D TRUNK – This mode sets the port for transmitting to a legacy 802.1D switch fabric. In
this mode, all incoming frames are classified into the default VLAN and all frames are
transmitted untagged. The switch expects to receive only untagged frames through the
1D Trunk port. This mode also updates the Port VLAN List and makes the port eligible to
transmit frames for all VLANs. The 1D Trunk mode can be used in conjunction with the
“Forward Default VLAN Out All Ports” parameter and the Default VLAN to allow all
stations on a legacy portion of the network to access all stations or servers in the 802.1Q
portion of the network.

3. When the desired operational mode for the port is displayed, use the arrow keys to highlight the

SAVE command at the bottom of the screen.

4. Press ENTER. The message “SAVED OK” displays.

change.

2. Use the SPACE bar or BACKSPACE key to step sequentially through the previously

configured VLAN ID numbers. Only existing VLAN IDs will be displayed.

3. When the desired VLAN ID is displayed, use the arrow keys to highlight the SAVE command

at the bottom of the screen.

4. Press ENTER. The message “SAVED OK” displays.

NOTE: It may be necessary to use the NEXT and PREVIOUS commands to page
through the available ports. For instructions, refer to

Configuration screen, discussed in
