Cajun P880 Routing Switch Installation Guide 2 - 21
Configuring Port VLAN Parameters
Port VLAN parameters determine how a particular port’s traffic is
flooded to VLANs when tagged and untagged packets are received
on the port. See the examples later in this section for
recommendations on settings for particular trunk port connections.
Refer to “VLAN Operation”, in the Cajun P550/P220 Switch Operation
Guide, for more information on creating VLANs.
Refer to “Viewing Switch Port Parameters”, earlier in this chapter,
for information on accessing the Switch Port dialog box.
To configure port VLAN parameters:
1. From the Port VLAN pull-down menu in the Switch Port dialog
box, select a VLAN as the VLAN assignment for this port. This
causes all untagged frames arriving on this port to be assigned to
the specified VLAN. The port will still assign incoming tagged
packets to the VLAN indicated by the tag.
2. From the Trunk Mode pull-down menu, select the option
(excluding Clear) to indicate that the port is a trunk and to
select the appropriate VLAN trunking format if the port is
connected to another switch.
Table 13. describes the VLAN Trunking Mode options:
3. From the Frame Tags pull-down menu, select whether you
want to Ignore or Use received Frame VLAN tags. If you ignore
VLAN tags on incoming frames, the frames are bound to the
port’s default VLAN.
4. From the VLAN Binding pull-down menu, select a VLAN
binding type for this port.
Table 13. VLAN Trunking Mode Options
