Manage Advanced 802.1Q VLANs
In an advanced 802.1Q VLAN configuration, VLAN 1 is added to the switch and all ports (1 through 8) are
untagged members of VLAN 1. Advanced 802.1Q VLANs provide you with most configuration options:You
can tag ports, untag ports, exclude ports, add more VLANs, assign a different VLAN to a port, manage port
PVIDs, and manage a voice VLAN, including the OUI table.

In an advanced 802.1Q VLAN configuration, you can set up VLANs to which you can add tagged or untagged
ports. Port tagging allows a port to be associated with a particular VLAN and allows the VLAN ID tag to be
added to data packets that are sent through the port.The tag identifies the VLAN that must receive the data.
You can also manage the VLAN IDs (PVIDs) of the ports (see Specify a Port PVID for an Advanced 802.1Q
VLAN on page 54).
