Configuring 802.1Q VLANs
Setting up a 802.1Q VLAN is a two-step process: create a VLAN on the
switch, assigning member ports to it, then set up tagging properly for your
attached devices. For those devices that don’t support tagging an extra
configuration step is required.
Step 1: Create an 802.1Q VLAN and add ports
1 On the Main Menu, select Configure VLAN.
Note: Make sure the switch’s current VLAN operation mode is set to
IEEE 802.1Q VLAN. For information about changing the VLAN
operation mode, see “Configure VLAN Operation Mode”.
2 Select Create an IEEE 802.1Q VLAN and press E.
3 Type a name for the new VLAN (no spaces) and press E.
4 Type a VLAN ID and press E. The ID number can be any number
from 2 to 4094.
5 Determine if you want to allow IGMP Snooping on this VLAN. This is
important because the switch can support more 802.1Q VLANs than the
maximum of 12 IGMP Snooping sessions available.
6 Select ports to add to the VLAN. Use z to toggle the
Member field to Yes.
7 Select the NEXT button and press E.
Step 2: Configure tagging for member ports
If the device on a particular port does not support tags, configure that port as
untagged. Configuring a device as untagged ensures that the switch removes
tags from packets before they leave the switch for the device. If you
configure a port as untagged, proceed to step 3 (Configure VLAN for
untagged devices) when you are finished with this step.
1 Press z to select Tag or Untag for each port that is a member of
the VLAN.
2 Select the DONE button and press E.
If you configured any of the ports in the VLAN as Untagged, proceed to
step 3 to configure ports for untagged devices and associate those ports with
a PVID (port VLAN ID).
NOTE
You must determine which devices
on your network support tag-
based VLANs and which do not,
before you start this procedure.
