2. All ports must be configured as Access Ports or Uplink ports. Access ports can only be Ethernet ports while
Uplink ports must be Gigabit ports.
3. Provider Edge switches must allow frames of at least 1522 bytes or more, due to the addition of the SPVID
tag.
4. Access Ports must be an un-tagged port of the service provider VLANs. Uplink Ports must be a tagged port of
the service provider VLANs.
5. The switch cannot have both double and normal VLANs co-existing. Once the change of VLAN is made, all
Access Control lists are cleared and must be reconfigured.
6. Once Double VLANs are enabled, GVRP must be disabled.
7. All packets sent from the CPU to the Access ports must be untagged.
8. The following functions will not operate when the switch is in Double VLAN mode:
• Guest VLANs
• Web-based Access Control
• IP Multicast Routing
• GVRP
• All Regular 802.1Q VLAN functions
802.1Q VLAN
The 802.1Q VLAN window lists all previously configured VLANs by VLAN ID and VLAN Name.
To view this window click L2 Features > 802.1Q VLAN
Figure 3 - 6 Current 802.1Q Static VLANs Entries window
To create a new 802.1Q VLAN entry or edit an existing one, click the Add/Edit V LAN tab at the top of the 802.1Q
VLAN window. A new window will appear, as shown below, to configure the port settings and to assign a unique name
and number to the new VLAN. See the table below for a description of the parameters in the new window.
NOTE: After all IP interfaces are set for your configurations, VLANs on the
switch can be routed without any additional steps.
