Configuration Manager Editor window: VLAN Switch

The Configuration Manager Editor window: VLAN Switch component allows you to configure VLAN switch modules.

Introduction

The VLAN Switch Module Configuration component allows you to define the VLAN IDs, associate ports with the VLAN IDs, and configure the egress state for the port.
Note: Depending on the type of VLAN switch you are using, some of the values that are defined might not be available to select.

Fields

Chassis Slot
Chassis Slot
The default value is all, which indicates that the profile applies to all chassis slots that include a VLAN switch module of this type. If you select a specific slot number, the profile will only apply to that VLAN switch module.
VLAN Configuration
Name
Indicates the name of the VLAN (1 to 32 characters).
VLAN ID
A unique number that identifies the VLAN. Allowable values range from 2 to 4094. VLAN ID 1 is reserved for the default VLAN.
Interface Number
Indicates the interface number that the VLAN ID is assigned.
Type
The default value is permanent, which indicates the VLAN is active and will remain so after the next reset of the device.
Status
Allows you to select the VLAN status from the following options:
  • enabled (active)
  • disabled (not active/suspended)
Add
Adds the VLAN specified in the VLAN ID field to the VLAN Configuration list.
Remove
Deletes the selected VLAN from the VLAN Configuration list.
VLAN Egress Configuration
VLAN ID
Allows you to select a VLAN ID that has been added to the VLAN Configuration.
Port Number
Indicates the port number for the VLAN. You can select a port value from 1 to 20.
Egress State
Indicates the egress state for the port. You can select from the following states:
  • No Egress -- Frames are not forwarded out of the port.
  • Tagged -- Only tagged frames are forwarded out of the port.
  • Untagged -- Only untagged frames are forwarded out of the port.
Add
Adds the port selected in the Port Number field to the VLAN Egress Configuration list.
Remove
Deletes the selected VLAN port from the VLAN Egress Configuration list.
VLAN Port Configuration
Port Number
Indicates the port number for the VLAN. You can select a port value from 1 to 20.
Port VLAN ID
Indicates the VLAN ID for the port. Allows you to type the VLAN ID for the port. When you assign a VLAN to a port, the VLAN ID (VID) becomes the Port VLAN ID (PVID) for the port. Endpoints connected to the port become members of that VLAN. All untagged frames received on the port are tagged with the PVID, unless a classification rule exists for the classification type of the frame.
Frame Types
Allows you to select types of frames the port accepts. You can select from the following values:
  • Accept All -- The port accepts both tagged and untagged frames.
  • Accept Tagged -- The port accepts only tagged frames.
  • Accept None -- The port will not accept packets with this VLAN ID.
  • No Support -- The port does not support this functionality.
GVRP Status
Indicates whether GARP VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP) is enabled on the port for this VLAN ID. GVRP dynamically adds VLANs to port egress lists across a domain.
Ingress Filtering
Indicates whether the port is performing ingress filtering. Ports performing ingress filtering discard any frame received whose VLAN classification is not on the egress list of the port.
