C HAPTER 6 | VLAN Configuration
IEEE 802.1Q VLANs
– 95 –
ES-2000 Series
Ports can be assigned to multiple tagged or untagged VLANs. Each port on
the switch is therefore capable of passing tagged or untagged frames.
When forwarding a frame from this switch along a path that contains any
VLAN-aware devices, the switch should include VLAN tags. When
forwarding a frame from this switch along a path that does not contain any
VLAN-aware devices (including the destination host), the switch must first
strip off the VLAN tag before forwarding the frame. When the switch
receives a tagged frame, it will pass this frame onto the VLAN(s) indicated
by the frame tag. However, when this switch receives an untagged frame
from a VLAN-unaware device, it first decides where to forward the frame,
and then inserts a VLAN tag reflecting the ingress port’s default VID.
CONFIGURING VLAN
GROUPS
Use the VLAN > Static (Configure VLAN) page to create or remove VLAN
groups, or set administrative status. To propagate information about VLAN
groups used on this switch to external network devices, you must specify a
VLAN ID for each of these groups.
PARAMETERS
These parameters are displayed:
◆ VLAN ID – ID of VLAN or range of VLANs (1-4093).
Up to 128 VLAN groups can be defined. VLAN 1 is the default untagged
VLAN.
◆ Status – Enables or disables the specified VLAN.
WEB INTERFACE
To create VLAN groups:
1. Click VLAN, Static.
2. Select Configure VLAN from the Action list.
3. Enter a VLAN ID or range of IDs.
4. Mark Enabled to configure the VLAN as operational.
5. Click Add.
