VLAN partitions a single network to create multiple distinct broadcast domains which are mutually isolated

so that packets can only pass between them via one or more routers. The default VLAN typically has an

ID of 1.

If a VLAN were to exist only on one device, no ports that are members of the VLAN group need to be

tagged. These ports would hence be considered "untagged". When the VLAN is to extend to another

device, then tagging is used. Since communications between ports on two different switches travel via the

uplink ports of each switch involved, every VLAN containing such ports must also contain the uplink port

of each switch involved, and these ports must be tagged. To change the VLAN ID select the Assign No.

gray button and enter in a number up to 4096 and select OK.

VLAN Priority is defined by the 802.1P standard that is a quality of service (QoS) prioritization scheme

that indicates the priority level of the frame. The priority level values range from 0 (best effort/lowest) to

7(highest). These values can be used to prioritize different classes of traffic such as voice and video. The

VLAN ID tag specifies the VLAN to which the frame belongs. The priority bits define the priority with which

the frames are processed.
