Configuring VLAN Membership
The Port VLAN Membership page displays all ports on the device along with a list 
of VLANs to which each port belongs.
If the port-based authentication method for an interface is 802.1x and the 
Administrative Port Control is Auto, then:
• Until the port is authenticated, it is excluded from all VLANs, except guest 
and unauthenticated ones. In the VLAN to Port page, the port is marked with 
an upper case P.
• When the port is authenticated, it receives membership in the VLAN in 
which it was configured.
To assign a port to one or more VLANs:
STEP 1 Click VLAN Management > Port VLAN Membership.
STEP  2 Select interface type (Port or LAG), and click Go. The following fields are 
displayed for all interfaces of the selected type:
• Interface—Port/LAG ID. 
• Mode—Interface VLAN mode that was selected in the Interface Settings 
page. 
• Administrative VLANs—Drop-down list that displays all VLANs of which 
the interface might be a member. 
• Operational VLANs—Drop-down list that displays all VLANs of which the 
interface is currently a member. 
• LAG—If interface selected is Port, displays the LAG in which it is a member.
STEP  3 Select a port, and click the Join VLAN button.
STEP  4 Enter the values for the following fields:

appear in the right list if it is tagged, but it cannot be selected.
