VLAN Port Attribute Configuration

Setting the Port
VLAN ID
You can assign a port VID of any value in the range of 1 - 4094.
When the port VID is equal to the VID of one of the VLAN
Groups in the system, the port becomes a member of that VLAN
Group. If the given port VID value does not match with the VID
of any VLAN Group in the system, an error message is displayed:
Invalid port VID, press any key to continue
To assign a port VID, press i in VLAN Port Attribute
Configuration Menu. This displays the message:
Enter Port VID (1 - 4094) >
Enter a value within the range and press return .
If the given value does not match with the VID of any VLAN
Groups in the system, a warning message is displayed:
Invalid Port VID, press any key to continue
If the given value is a value of one the existing VIDs, then the
port VID (PVID) is set with the value, and the screen changes to
the VLAN Port attribute screen of the corresponding VLAN
Group, with the port number equal to the current port number.
The port is now displayed as a * in the VLAN Group's member
set.
∆
Note: Since the port VID does not have any sig-
nificance for a tagged port, setting port VID is
not available for tagged ports.
Toggle VLAN
Tagging
This option, t in the VLAN Port Attribute Configuration Menu, is
used to create a tagged port or expansion port. The purpose of
a tagged port is to open a line of communication between
VLANs on two or more compatible IntraSwitches. Before you
enable tagging, read the following overview, then refer to the
example shown in Figure 9-3.
Overview: Using tagging to connect VLANs
Use the following procedure to connect two IntraSwitches so
that users on a VLAN defined in one switch can communicate
with users on a matching VLAN defined on the other switch.
