Chapter 24: Port-based and Tagged Virtual LANs

570

Section V: VLANs

VLAN Type
The VLAN type. The possible settings are:

Port Based - The VLAN is a port-based or tagged VLAN.

GARP - The VLAN was automatically created by GARP.

Protected - The VLAN is a protected ports VLAN.

Protocol - If this column is blank, the VLAN is a port-based, tagged, or
protected ports VLAN. If it contains “GARP,” the VLAN or the port is a
dynamic GVRP VLAN or a dynamic GVRP port of a static VLAN.

Member Port(s)

The untagged and tagged ports of a VLAN. (These fields will be blank
for a MAC address-based VLAN.) The untagged ports of a VLAN are
listed as follows.

ˆ

Configured: The untagged ports assigned to the VLAN when the
VLAN was created or modified.

ˆ

Actual: The current untagged ports of the VLAN. If you are not
using 802.1x Port-based Network Access Control, both the
Configured and Actual untagged ports of a VLAN will always be
the same.

If you are using 802.1x and you assigned a Guest VLAN to an
authenticator port or you associated an 802.1x supplicant to a
VLAN on the authentication server, it is possible for a port to be in
different VLAN than the virtual LAN where it was originally
assigned as an untagged port. In these situations, the Configured
and Actual port lists can differ, with the Actual list detailing the
ports that are currently functioning as untagged ports of the VLAN.

For example, if a particular port is listed as a Configured member
of a VLAN, but not as an Actual member, that would mean either
the port is currently a part of a Guest VLAN or the supplicant who
logged on the port was associated with a VLAN assignment on the
authentication server.
