Add Tagged or Untagged Ports to an
802.1Q-Based VLAN

After you define a VLAN ID using the advanced 802.1Q VLAN option (see Create
802.1Q-Based VLANs in an Advanced Configuration
on page 33), you must add ports
to the VLAN.

While you add ports to a VLAN, you can specify whether the ports must be tagged or
untagged. Port tagging allows a port to be associated with a particular VLAN and allows
the VLAN ID tag to be added to data packets that are sent through the port. The tag
identifies the VLAN that must receive the data.

By default, all ports are untagged.

To add tagged or untagged ports to an 802.1Q-based VLAN:

1. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.

You can use a WiFi or wired network connection, or connect directly to a switch that
is off-network using an Ethernet cable.

2. Launch a web browser.

3. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.

If you do not know the IP address of the switch, see Access the Switch Using a Web
Browser
on page 16.

The login window opens.

4. Enter the switch password.

The default password is
