The subsections following the Abbreviations list below describe
these features and how each is configured.
Abbreviations
The following abbreviations are used throughout this chapter.
MGMT: Management.
PVID: A tagged port’s VLAN ID. Range is 1…4094.
STP: Spanning tree protocol.
Tagged: Tagging is enabled.
Untagged: Tagging is disabled.
VID: VLAN group’s ID. Range is 1…4094.
∆
Note: The terms “groups” and “segments” are
both used to represent VLAN segments in the
system. They are numbered from 1 to 15.
VLAN Groups
The IntraSwitch supports 15 VLAN Groups. Each of these VLAN
Groups is uniquely identified by a 12-bit (1…4094) VLAN ID
(VID). No two VLAN Groups can have same VID if they reside
on the same switch. Stations on one VLAN Group can talk
between themselves and cannot talk with stations in any other
VLAN Group. By default, all ports of the system belong to VLAN
Group 1 which is termed the Default VLAN and has a VID value
of 1. The VID of the Default VLAN cannot be changed by the
user.
Each VLAN group can have one or more ports as its
members.
Management operations allowed on VLAN Groups are:
❏ Setting VID (for VLANs other than the Default
VLAN). See "Setting VLAN ID" for details
❏ VLAN name configuration. See "Setting VLAN
Name" for details.
❏ Adding Port Members to a VLAN Group. See
"Adding VLAN Members" for details.
VLAN Untagged (normal) Ports
The IntraSwitch ports by default operate as normal ports,
meaning they can transmit and receive frames as untagged or
un-encapsulated frames. In the present implementation, a
