port-based VLAN, in that tagged VLANs can exist
as groups across multiple switches in your
enterprise whereas port VLANS are local only to
the switch that they are defined on. Port ingress
(incoming) and egress (outgoing) rules allow for
filtering of packets that don’t conform to your
specific policies on accepting or denying non-
tagged packets. Each tag-based VLAN that is
configured must be assigned a VLAN name and
a VLAN ID. Valid VLAN ID’s range from 1 to 4094.
Administrators can create a total of up to 8 Tag
VLAN groups.
* Metro Mode: Metro Mode is a quick configuration VLAN option
designed for Metro WAN deployment. It uses Port-
based VLAN’s and creates 6 or 7 VLAN groups.
* Up-link Port: This feature enables a VLAN group to be bound to
one or both of the paired dual media uplink ports.
This feature is only enabled when the ‘Metro mode’
is selected.
* Option 7: All ports are assigned to a unique VLAN bound to
Port 7. Port 7 ends up a member of 7 VLAN
groups, one VLAN for each port. This secures intra
port traffic, but allows all ports access to a single
uplink port (7). Each VLAN has 2 members. 7
VLAN’s in total.
* Option 8: All ports are assigned to a unique VLAN bound to
Port 8. Port 8 ends up a member of 7 VLAN
groups, one VLAN for each port. This secures intra-
port traffic, but allows all ports access to a single
uplink port (8). Each VLAN has 2 members. 7
VLAN’s in total.
* Option 7&8: All ports are assigned to a unique VLAN bound to
Ports 7 and 8. Both ports 7 and 8 end up
members of 6 VLAN groups, one VLAN for each
port. This secures intra port traffic, but allows all
ports access to both uplink ports (7 and 8).
Each VLAN has 3 members. 6 VLANS in total.
