VLANs - Creating VLANs
You can create a VLAN, but this has no effect until the VLAN is attached to at
least one port, either manually or dynamically. Ports must always belong to
one or more VLANs.
The Smart device supports up to 128 VLANs, including the default VLAN.
Each VLAN must be configured with a unique VID with a value from 1 to 4094.
The device reserves VID 4095 as the Discard VLAN and VID 4094 for 802.1x. All
packets classified to the Discard VLAN are discarded at ingress, and are not
forwarded to a port.
The VLANs page enables you to change the default VLAN and create a new
VLAN. To change add a VLAN, do the following:
STEP 1 Click Configuration > VLAN Management > VLANs.
The currently-defined VLANs are displayed.
STEP 2 Click Add to add one or more new VLANs.
The page enables the creation of either a single VLAN or a range of VLANs.
STEP 3 Enter the following fields for the new VLANs.
• VLAN—Select one of the following options:
• Single VLAN—Select to create a single VLAN .
• Range of VLANs—Select to create a range of VLANs and specify
the range of VLANs to be created by entering the Starting VID and
Ending VID, inclusive. When using the Range function, the maximum
number of VLANs you can create at one time is 100.
• VLAN ID—Enter a VLAN ID .
• VLAN Name—Enter a VLAN name .
• VLAN ID Range—Enter a range of VLANs .
STEP 4 Click Apply to create the VLAN(s).
Interfaces
The Interface Settings page displays and enables configuration of VLAN-
related parameters for all interfaces.
To configure the VLAN settings:
STEP 1 Click Configuration > VLAN Management > Interface Settings.
STEP 2 Select an interface type (Port or LAG), and click Search. Ports or LAGs
and their VLAN Membership are displayed.
STEP 3 To configure a Port or LAG, select it and click Edit.
NOTE:
To add a port or LAG to a VLAN, click Join VLAN. The Join VLAN page
is displayed.
This page is described below.
STEP 4 Enter the values for the following fields:
• Interface—Select a Port/LAG.
• Interface VLAN Mode—Select the interface mode for the VLAN. The
options are:
• Access—The interface is an untagged member of a single VLAN. A
port configured in this mode is known as an access port.
• Trunk—The interface is an untagged member of one VLAN at most,
and is a tagged member of zero or more VLANs. A port configured in
this mode is known as a trunk port.
• General Port—The interface can support all functions as defined
in the IEEE 802.1q specification. The interface can be a tagged or
untagged member of one or more VLANs.
• PVID—Enter the Port VLAN ID (PVID) of the VLAN to which incoming
untagged and priority tagged frames are classified. The possible values
are1 to 4094.
• Acceptable Frame Type—Select the type of frame that the interface can
receive. Frames that are not of the configured frame type are discarded
at ingress. These frame types are only available in General mode. Possible
values are:
• Admit All—The interface accepts all types of frames: untagged
frames, tagged frames, and priority tagged frames.
