34 CHAPTER 4: CONFIGURING THE SWITCH
Modifying VLANs
Use the Modify VLAN screen to change the VLAN to 
which a port belongs, and configure the port to com-
municate with all other VLANs, or a selected VLAN.
Figure 16   Modify VLANs Screen
■ Port – Displays the port number
■ Mode – The mode option determines if the port 
can communicate with all VLANs, or only with a 
selected VLAN
■ Uplink – If you select this, the port is able to com-
municate with all VLANs on the Switch
■ Desktop - If you select this, the port can only com-
municate with other ports assigned to the VLAN 
selected in the VLAN ID drop-down list.
An uplink port is sometimes referred to as a tagged 
port. The two terms refer to the same feature.
■ VLAN ID – Enter the ID of the configured VLAN to 
which you want this port to belong
Defining VLAN Membership
Use the Membership screen to configure port mem-
bers for the selected VLAN.
Figure 17   Membership Screen
■ VLAN ID – ID of the configured VLAN (1-4094, no 
leading zeroes)
■ Name – Name of the VLAN (1 to 32 characters)
■ Ports – Port identifier

that are connected to the Switch, the following 
sample configurations are provided.
