Configuring the GbE Interconnect Switch using the Menu-driven Interface
Forbidden Non-member—These ports are not a member of the VLAN and are also
forbidden from joining a VLAN dynamically when GVRP is enabled.
If ingress filtering is enabled for a port, the interconnect switch examines the VLAN
information in the packet header (if present) and decides whether or not to forward the
packet. The VID should match the PVID of that port, otherwise, that incoming packet is
discarded.
Packets cannot cross VLANs. If a member of one VLAN wants to connect to another VLAN,
it must do so through a router.
Default VLAN
The GbE Interconnect Switch reserves one VLAN, VID 1, also called DEFAULT_VLAN.
The factory default setting assigns all ports on the GbE Interconnect Switch to the default
VLAN. As new VLANs are configured, their respective member ports are removed from the
default VLAN.
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.
