Or the PVID will be set to “None” 4.6.2 Per Port Configuration The VLAN Per Port Configuration page contains fields for managing ports that are part of a VLAN. The port default VLAN ID (PVID) is configured on the VLAN Port Configuration page. All untagged packets arriving to the device are tagged by the ports PVID.
• Item Description • VLAN Type - There’re two VLAN mode support – 802.1Q VLAN and Port-Bas VLAN • 802.1Q – Packets income will be tagged with VID as the PVID setting. All ports on the switch belong to default VLAN (VID 1). • Port-Base - Packets can only be broadcast among other members of the same VLAN group. Note all unselected ports are treated as belonging to the default system VLAN. If port-based VLAN are enabled, then VLAN-tagging feature is ignored.
4.6.3 VLAN setting example: 4.6.3.1 Two separate 802.1Q VLAN The diagram shows how the switch handle Tagged and Untagged traffic flow for two VLANs. VLAN Group 2 and VLAN Group 3 are separated VLAN. Each VLAN isolate network traffic so only members of the VLAN receive traffic from the same VLAN members. The screen in Figure 4-12 appears and Table 4-8 describes the port configuration of switch.
Untagged packet entering VLAN 3 1. While [PC-4] transmit an untagged packet enters Port-4, the switch will tag it with a VLAN Tag=3. [PC-5] and [PC-6] will received the packet through Port-5 and Port-6. 2. While the packet leaves Port-5, it will be stripped away it tag becoming an untagged packet. 3. While the packet leaves Port-6, it will keep as a tagged packet with VLAN Tag=3.

5. SWITCH OPERATION 5.1 Address Table The Switch is implemented with an address table. This address table composed of many entries. Each entry is used to store the address information of some node in network, including MAC address, port no, etc. This information comes from the learning process of Ethernet Switch. 5.2 Learning When one packet comes in from any port, the Switch will record the source address, port no. And the other related information in address table.
5.6 IGMP Snooping Theory Computers and network devices that want to receive multicast transmissions need to inform nearby routers that they will become members of a multicast group. The Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) is used to communicate this information. IGMP is also used to periodically check the multicast group for members that are no longer active. In the case where there is more than one multicast router on a sub network, one router is elected as the ‘queried’.
The states a computer will go through to join or to leave a multicast group are shown below: Non-Member Leave Group (Stop Timer) Delaying Member Join Group (Send Report, Start Timer) Query Received (Start Timer) Report Received (Stop Timer) Timer Expried (Send report) IGMP State Transitions -76- Leave Group Idle Member
6. TROUBLESHOOTING This chapter contains information to help you solve problems. If the Switch is not functioning properly, make sure the Ethernet Switch was set up according to instructions in this manual. The Link LED is not lit Solution: Check the cable connection and remove duplex mode of the Switch. Some stations cannot talk to other stations located on the other port Solution: Please check the VLAN, port trunking function that may introduce this kind of problem.
