The Page includes the following fields:

Description

Port

This is the logical port number for this row.

Access

Access ports are normally used to connect to end stations. Dynamic features like

Voice VLAN may add the port to more VLANs behind the scenes. Access ports

have the following characteristics:

Member of exactly one VLAN, the Port VLAN (Access VLAN), which by

default is 1

Accepts untagged and C-tagged frames

Discards all frames that are not classified to the Access VLAN

On egress all frames classified to the Access VLAN are transmitted

untagged. Other (dynamically added VLANs) are transmitted tagged

Trunk

Trunk ports can carry traffic on multiple VLANs simultaneously, and are normally

used to connect to other switches. Trunk ports have the following characteristics:

By default, a trunk port is member of all VLANs (1-4095)

The VLANs that a trunk port is member of may be limited by the use of

Allowed VLANs

Frames classified to a VLAN that the port is not a member of are

discarded

By default, all frames but frames classified to the Port VLAN (a.k.a.

Native VLAN) get tagged on egress. Frames classified to the Port

VLAN do not get C-tagged on egress

Egress tagging can be changed to tag all frames, in which case only

tagged frames are accepted on ingress

Mode

Hybrid

Hybrid ports resemble trunk ports in many ways, but adds additional port

configuration features. In addition to the characteristics described for trunk ports,

hybrid ports have these abilities:

Can be configured to be VLAN tag unaware, C-tag aware, S-tag

aware, or S-custom-tag aware

Ingress filtering can be controlled

Ingress acceptance of frames and configuration of egress tagging can

be configured independently

Port VLAN

Determines the port's VLAN ID (PVID). Allowed VLANs are in the range 1

through 4095, default being 1.

On ingress, frames get classified to the Port VLAN if the port is configured as

VLAN unaware, the frame is untagged, or VLAN awareness is enabled on

the port, but the frame is priority tagged (VLAN ID = 0).

On egress, frames classified to the Port VLAN do not get tagged if Egress

Tagging configuration is set to untag Port VLAN.
