•  Egress—Allows you to select the radio button to specify that the port is a static member 
of the VLAN. Egress member ports transmit traffic for the VLAN. 
•  Forbidden—Specifies the port as not being a member of the VLAN and that the port is 
forbidden from dynamically becoming a member of the VLAN. 
NOTE: Characteristics of DEFAULT_VLAN include: 
•  DEFAULT_VLAN is an IEEE 802.1Q Static VLAN with VID equal to 1. 
•  DEFAULT_VLAN cannot be deleted. 
•  The VID cannot be changed. The VID that is equal to 1 is reserved for DEFAULT_VLAN. 
•  The VLAN name can be changed to any other valid VLAN name. 
•  You cannot delete a port from DEFAULT_VLAN, unless it is a member of another 802.1Q VLAN. 
•  You cannot forbid a port from DEFAULT_VLAN, unless it is a member of another 802.1Q VLAN. 
•  If a port is deleted from the only 802.1Q VLAN of which it is a member, then it will automatically 
become a member of DEFAULT_VLAN as an untagged, egress port. 
•  If a port is assigned to a user-created 802.1Q VLAN, and is not a tagged egress port member of 
DEFAULT_VLAN (in other words, it is an untagged egress port), then it will be deleted 
automatically from DEFAULT_VLAN. 
•  A tagged egress port of DEFAULT_VLAN will not be deleted from DEFAULT_VLAN, when it is 
assigned to another user-created 802.1Q VLAN. 
To configure an 802.1Q static VLAN entry: 
1.  Type the VLAN ID in the VID field. 
2.  Type the VLAN name in the VLAN Name field. 
3. Select Tag if you want a member port to be a tagging port. Leave it unselected if you do 
not want it to be a tagging port. 
4. Click None if you do not want a port to belong to the VLAN, or click Egress to statically 
set a port to belong to a VLAN. 
5. Click Apply to let the changes take effect. 
NOTE: To save the configuration settings permanently, you must enter them into NVRAM using 
the Save Changes option on the Maintenance menu. Refer to the section, “Saving Changes,” 
earlier in this chapter.
