From the VLAN menu for the individual port, select Add VLAN. The BASIC 802.1Q VLAN pop-up window opens. b. In the VLAN Name field, enter a name from 1 to 14 characters. c. In the VLAN ID field, enter a number from 1 to 4093. d. Click the APPLY button. The pop-up window closes. The VLAN is added as a possible selection in the VLAN menu for each individual port. e. For each port that you want to make a member of the new VLAN, select the VLAN from the VLAN menu for the individual port. Note: If ports are members of the same LAG, you must assign them to the same VLAN. 8. Click the SAVE button. Your settings are saved. Note: For information about assigning the port mode, see Assign the port mode in a basic 802.1Q VLAN configuration on page 43. Assign the port mode in a basic 802.1Q VLAN configuration In an 802.1Q VLAN configuration, you can assign one of the following port modes: • Access mode. A port that functions in access mode can belong to a single VLAN only and does not tag the traffic that it processes. You would typically use access mode for a port that is connected to an end device such as a gaming device, media device, or computer. When a port that functions in access mode receives data that is untagged, the data is delivered normally. When a port that functions in access mode receives data that is tagged for a VLAN other than the one the port belongs to, the data is discarded. • Trunk mode. A port that functions in trunk mode automatically belongs to all VLANs on the switch and tags the traffic that it processes. You would typically use trunk mode for a port that is connected to another network device. For example, you would assign trunk mode for an uplink to another switch or router and for a downlink to a WiFi access point. Use VLANS for Traffic 43 Segmentation User Manual

Assign the port mode in a basic 802.1Q VLAN configuration
In an 802.1Q VLAN configuration, you can assign one of the following port modes:
•
Access mode
. A port that functions in access mode can belong to a single VLAN
only and does not tag the traffic that it processes. You would typically use access
mode for a port that is connected to an end device such as a gaming device, media
device, or computer. When a port that functions in access mode receives data that
is untagged, the data is delivered normally. When a port that functions in access
mode receives data that is tagged for a VLAN other than the one the port belongs
to, the data is discarded.
•
Trunk mode
. A port that functions in trunk mode automatically belongs to all VLANs
on the switch and tags the traffic that it processes. You would typically use trunk
mode for a port that is connected to another network device. For example, you
would assign trunk mode for an uplink to another switch or router and for a downlink
to a WiFi access point.
