address and the VLAN. In some application, if the Ethernet switch cannot
build the separate MAC address table for different VLANs, there will be a
conflict of MAC address table. To solve this problem, the switch controller
utilizes the VLAN Uplink port to emulate the usage of Independent VLAN
MAC Address Table.
VLAN Uplink Setting: If VLAN uplink function is enabled and the
destination port of an unicast packet is located at the next VLAN, this
packet will be forwarded to the uplink port. Choose the Uplink Port X for
the port ID. The Uplink X will be the uplink port of its VLAN.
Note: There is a functional conflict between VLAN striding and VLAN uplink.
Imagine what will happen if both VLAN striding and VLAN uplink are
enabled simultaneously? In this case, the switch selects VLAN striding and
ignores the VLAN uplink setting.
