6. Set the state of each port by highlighting the Tag/Untag field using the arrow keys and
then toggling between U and T using the spacebar.
— U—Specifies the port as an untagged member of the VLAN. When the port transmits
an untagged packet, the packet header remains unchanged. When a tagged packet
exits the port, the tag is stripped and the packet is changed to an untagged packet.
— T—Specifies the port as a tagged member of the VLAN. When the port transmits an
untagged packet, the packet header is changed to include the 32-bit tag associated
with the PVID (Port VLAN Identifier). When a tagged packet exits the port, the
packet header is unchanged.
NOTE: If the port is attached to a device that is not IEEE 802.1Q VLAN compliant (VLAN-tag
unaware), then set the port to U (Untagged). If the port is attached to a device that is IEEE 802.1Q
VLAN compliant (VLAN-tag aware), then set the port to T (Tagged).
7. Toggle the State field between Active and Inactive.
8. Highlight APPLY and press the Enter key.
