ProLiant BL p-Class GbE Interconnect Switch Web-based Interface Reference Guide

Configuring the GbE Interconnect Switch using the Web-based Interface
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.
To configure a VLAN:
1. Select Static VLAN Entry from the VLAN menu. The following screen is displayed.
The 802.1Q Static VLANs window allows you to create or delete entries to the 802.1Q
Static VLAN table. To add an entry to this table, click Add and then fill in the
appropriate information in the following window. To modify an entry, click Modify
beside the appropriate VID. To delete an entry, click the icon in the Delete column.
