6.8 802.1Q VLAN Configuration
This screen is used to configure the 802.1Q VLAN function. The following list describes the
settings.
 VLAN Function – Use to select the VLAN mode: 802.1Q VLAN, Port-based VLAN and
Disabled.
 GVRP Protocol - Use to enable/disable the GVRP protocol. The GVRP protocol can
learn remote 802.1Q VLANs from other devices and add them to the dynamic 802.1Q
VLAN table.
 Ingress Filter - The ingress-filter function is used for VLAN filtering at the ingress port.
If the packet and its ingress port are in the same VLAN, it will be forwarded. Otherwise,
it will be discarded.
 VLAN Mode – Use this function to select the VLAN modes of 802.1Q VLAN operation.
There are three modes for 802.1Q VLAN function: SVL (Shared VLAN), IVL (Individual
VLAN) and SVL/IVL.
o SVL mode – the switch will forward packets according only to its MAC address.
o IVL mode – the switch will forward packets according to its MAC address and its
VLAN ID.
o SVL/IVL mode – its operation is the same as IVL mode, but for untagged port it is
used as the uplink port in MDU/MTU application.
o For most VLAN applications, SVL mode is OK.
 Management Port VID - This is the VLAN ID for the switch management interface.
Only users in the same VLAN can manage the switch via the network. This adds to
security for the network.
 Port VID: This setting is for untagged packets translated to tagged packets. The port
VID and priority setting will be used for tag adding in the translation. When untagged
packets are forwarded to a tagged port, a tag will be added and the Port VID and
priority setting will be applied to the tag.
Instructions:
1. Select the port number.
2. Set Port VID and Priority for Tag.
3. Click Apply to activate the settings.
