Defining VLAN Membership 
The 
Port to VLAN 
and Port VLAN Membership pages display the VLAN 
memberships of the ports in various presentations. You can use them to add or 
remove memberships to or from the VLANs. 
When a port is forbidden default VLAN membership, that port is not allowed 
membership in any other VLAN. An internal VID of 4095 is assigned to the port.
To forward packets properly, intermediate VLAN-aware devices that carry VLAN 
traffic along the path between end nodes must be manually configured.
Untagged port membership between two VLAN-aware devices with no 
intervening VLAN-aware devices, should be to the same VLAN. In other words, the 
PVID on the ports between the two devices must be the same if the ports are to 
send and receive untagged packets to and from the VLAN. Otherwise, traffic might 
leak from one VLAN to another. 
VLAN-tagged frames can pass through VLAN-aware or VLAN-unaware network 
interconnection devices. If a destination end node is VLAN-unaware, but is to 
receive traffic from a VLAN, then the last VLAN-aware device (if there is one), must 
send frames of the destination VLAN to the end node untagged. That is, the egress 
port that reaches the end node must be an untagged member of the VLAN.
Configuring Port to VLAN
Use the 
Port to VLAN
 page to display and configure the ports within a specific 
VLAN.
To map ports or LAGs to a VLAN:
STEP 1 Click VLAN Management > Port to VLAN. The 
Port to VLAN
 page opens.
STEP  2 Select a VLAN and the interface type (Port or LAG), and click Go to display or to 
change the port characteristic with respect to the VLAN.
