VLAN
10.1 Overview
This chapter shows you how to configure IEEE 802.1Q tagged VLANs and port-
based VLANs.
based VLANs.
10.2 What You Can Do
• Use the Port Isolation screen (
) to specify which ports
can communicate with each other.
• Use the VLAN Settings screen (
) to configure a VLAN
and assign member ports.
• Use the Tag Settings screen (
) to add a VLAN ID tag to
all outgoing frames on a member port.
• Use the Port Settings screen (
) to configure the VLAN
port settings.
10.3 What You Need to Know
10.3.1 Introduction to IEEE 802.1Q Tagged VLANs
A tagged VLAN uses an explicit tag (VLAN ID) in the MAC header to identify the
VLAN membership of a frame across bridges - they are not confined to the switch
on which they were created. The VLANs can be created statically by hand or
dynamically through GVRP. The VLAN ID associates a frame with a specific VLAN
and provides the information that switches need to process the frame across the
network. A tagged frame is four bytes longer than an untagged frame and
contains two bytes of TPID (Tag Protocol Identifier, residing within the type/length
field of the Ethernet frame) and two bytes of TCI (Tag Control Information, starts
after the source address field of the Ethernet frame).
