Figure 3.20: Port-based VLAN Setting
IEEE 802.1Q VLAN
The IEEE 802.1Q specification establishes a standard method for tagging
Ethernet frames with VLAN membership information. If you want to set
VLAN as IEEE 802.1Q standard, change the VLAN mode to configura-
tion to 802.1Q VLAN first.
In the IEEE 802.1Q VLAN configuration page, confirm the status shows
“Enable”, then start to configure the 802.1Q VLAN setting in the same
way as port-based VLAN setting.
EX:
VLAN ID 1: Port 1(T), Port 2 (T), Port 7(U), Port 8(U)
VLAN ID 2: Port 3(U), Port 7(T)
While packets egress, EKI-6538 will check the packets’ VID and the
egress port’s VID setting.
For the example setting, packets with tag VID 2 could not egress from
port 1,2,4,5,6,8 since the ports’ VID are not 2; Packets with tag VID 1
could only egress from port 1,2,7,8. Meanwhile, packets without default
VID would be tagged as VID 1 while they egress from Port 1,2, and
would be added tag VID 2 while egress from Port 7.
