Assigning Tagging to Gigabit MDA Ports
This section shows how a user could assign the gigabit MDA port (port 25 shown
in Figure 3-10
) as a Tagged VLAN member. In this example, the MDA port in the
example is configured with a PVID of 1. This means that the port-to-VLAN
association for port 25 is VLAN 1 (see “IEEE 802.1Q Tagging” on page 1-19). If
the PVID for port 25 is changed to another number (for example, PVID 7), port 25
becomes associated with VLAN 7. This is important to note because the rules
applying to the gigabit MDA configuration only allow for one (primary) VLAN
for the gigabit port. All other VLANs configured on that port are considered
secondary VLANs, and the secondary VLAN memberships can only be all tagged
or all untagged.
To assign the gigabit MDA port as a tagged VLAN member for the primary
VLAN, complete the following steps:
1.
From the VLAN Port Configuration screen, change the (default) Primary
VLAN Tagging field to Tagged, then Press [Return].
2.
Press [Ctrl]-R to return to the previous menu.
Primary VLAN Tagging
Allows a user to assign the associated gigabit MDA port as a tagged or
untagged VLAN member for the VLAN corresponding to the port’s PVID
(see “
Assigning Tagging to Gigabit MDA Ports” on page 3-26).
Default Value: Untagged
Range: Untagged, Tagged
Secondary VLAN Tagging
Allows a user to assign tagging parameter values (tagged or untagged)
to all other VLANs (all VLANs with VIDs that are not equal to the PVID).
See “
Assigning Tagging to Gigabit MDA Ports” on page 3-26.
Default Value: Tagged
Range: Tagged, Untagged
Note:
The gigabit MDAs restrict the configuration of VLAN tagging. The
gigabit MDA ports can be set up as tagged VLAN members or as untagged
VLAN members for a VLAN that has a VID which is equal to the port’s PVID.
For all other VLANs configured on that port the VLAN port membership will
be all tagged or all untagged.
