VLAN field descriptions

Use the data in the following table to use the VLAN tab.

Name

Description

PerformTagging

If checked, this port is a tagged (Trunk) Port. It can belong to multiple port-based VLANs and a VLAN tag is inserted in every frame it transmits. If it is not checked, the port is an untagged (Access) port. The default is disabled.

VlanIdList

Identifies which VLANs this port is assigned.

DiscardTaggedFrames

If selected, and the port is untagged (an access port), tagged frames received on the port are discarded by the forwarding process. If clear, tagged frames are processed normally. The default is disabled.

DiscardUntaggedFrames

If selected and the port is tagged (a trunk port), untagged frames received on the port are discarded by the forwarding process. If clear, untagged frames are processed normally. The default is disabled.

UntagDefaultVLAN

If selected, even if the port is tagged (a trunk port), frames forwarded to the default VLAN for the port are not tagged. The default is disabled.

UntaggedVlanIds

Identifies which VLANs this port is associated with as untagged.

DefaultVlanId

Specifies the VLAN ID assigned to untagged frames received on this trunk port that match no policy-based VLAN to which the port belongs.

SpoofDetect

Enables or disables spoof detection on the specified port.

Protocol

Enables protocol-based VLAN on the port. This feature is always enabled.

PrivateVlanPortType

Specifies the port type for a Private VLAN. If not specified, the port type defaults to None.

  • Isolated: An Isolated port can belong only to one private VLAN

  • Promiscuous: A Promiscuous port can belong to many private VLANs.

  • Trunk: A Trunk port can belong to many private VLANs, is tagged, and can also belong to non-private VLANs.

Origin

Specifies the origin of VLAN configuration on the port, either manually configured through CLI or EDM, or dynamically configured through Auto-sense.
