Configuring VLANs 577
Default VLAN Behavior
One VLAN is configured on the PowerConnect M6220, M6348, M8024, and
M8024-k switches by default. The VLAN ID is 1, and all ports are included in
the VLAN as access ports, which are untagged. This means when a device
connects to any port on the switch, the port forwards the packets without
inserting a VLAN tag. If a device sends a tagged frame to a port with a VLAN
ID other than 1, the frame is dropped. Since all ports are members of this
VLAN, all ports are in the same broadcast domain and receive all broadcast
and multicast traffic received on any port.
When you create a new VLAN, all trunk ports are members of the VLAN by
default. The configurable VLAN range is 2–4093. VLANs 4094 and 4095 are
reserved.
Ports in trunk and access mode have the default behavior shown in Table 21-2
and cannot be configured with different tagging or ingress filtering values.
When you add a VLAN to a port in general mode, the VLAN has the behavior
shown in Table 21-6.
