802.1Q

Each VLAN in a network has an associated VLAN ID, which appears in the IEEE 802.1Q tag in the Layer 2 header of packets transmitted on a VLAN. The IEEE802.1Q specification establishes a standard method for tagging Ethernet frames with VLAN membership information. The key for IEEE802.1Q to perform its functions is in its tags. 802.1Q-compliant Switch ports can be configured to transmit tagged or untagged frames. A tag field containing VLAN information can be inserted into an Ethernet frame. When using an 802.1Q VLAN configuration, ports are then configured to be a part of a VLAN group. When a port receives data tagged for a VLAN group, the data is discarded unless the port is a member of the VLAN group.

Port-based VLAN and 802.1Q VLAN are mutually exclusive. If port-based VLANs are enabled, then 802.1Q VLAN is disabled.

The Switch’s default setting is to assign all ports to a single 802.1Q VLAN(VID 1). Please keep this in mind when configuring the VLAN settings for the Switch.

To add an item to the 802.1Q list, follow the below steps

1. Click the Add VLAN button.
2. Enter the VID and name in the VID and Name text boxes.
3. Enter the tagged Ports as required.
4. Enter the Untagged Ports as required.
   
5. Click Apply to accept the changes or Cancel to discard them.

To delete an item in the 802.1Q list, follow the below steps

1. Click the delete button in the row to remove and entry. A confirmation dialog is displayed.
   

2. Click Confirm to continue or Cancel to abort the changes.

   Any port associated with this VLAN will be reset to the default VLAN (VLAN 1).
