Configuring the GbE Interconnect Switch using the Menu-driven Interface
4. Type a name for the new VLAN in the VLAN Name field.
5. Set the 802.1Q VLAN membership for each port by highlighting the Egress/Forbidden
field using the arrow keys, and then toggling between E, F, and the dash (—) using the
spacebar.
— E (Egress Member)—Specifies the port as being a static member of the VLAN.
Egress Member Ports are ports that will be transmitting traffic for the VLAN. These
ports can be either tagged or untagged.
— F (Forbidden Nonmember)—Defines the port as not being a member and also forbids
the port from joining a VLAN dynamically.
— — (Nonmember)—Specifies the port as not being a member of the VLAN, but the
port can become a member of the VLAN dynamically.
6. Set the state of each port by highlighting the Tag/Untag field using the arrow keys and
then toggling between U and T using the spacebar.
— U—Specifies the port as an untagged member of the VLAN. When the port transmits
an untagged packet, the packet header remains unchanged. When a tagged packet
exits the port, the tag is stripped and the packet is changed to an untagged packet.
— T—Specifies the port as a tagged member of the VLAN. When the port transmits an
untagged packet, the packet header is changed to include the 32-bit tag associated
with the PVID (Port VLAN Identifier). When a tagged packet exits the port, the
packet header is unchanged.
IMPORTANT: If the port is attached to a device that is not IEEE 802.1Q VLAN compliant (VLAN-
tag unaware), then set the port to U (Untagged). If the port is attached to a device that is IEEE
802.1Q VLAN compliant (VLAN-tag aware), then set the port to T (Tagged).
7. Toggle the State field between Active and Inactive.
8. Highlight APPLY.
9. Press the Enter key.
IMPORTANT: To save the configuration settings permanently, you must enter them into NVRAM
using the Save Changes option on the main menu. Refer to the “Saving Changes” section earlier
in this chapter.
Setting the PVID for a Port for a Specific VLAN
Port VLAN ID (PVID) is a classification mechanism that associates a port with a specific
VLAN and is used to make forwarding decisions for untagged packets received by the port.
For example, if Port 2 is assigned a PVID of 3, then all untagged packets received on Port 2
will be assigned to VLAN 3. This number is generally the same as the VID number assigned
to the port.
