Selecting a VLAN Mode
The AT-S63 management software features three VLAN modes:
ˆ Port-based and tagged VLAN Mode (default mode)
ˆ IEEE 802.1Q-compliant Multiple VLAN Mode
ˆ Non-IEEE 802.1Q compliant Multiple VLAN Mode
For background information on port-based and tagged VLANs, refer to
Chapter 25, “Port-based and Tagged VLANs,” in the AT-S63 Management
Software Menus Interface User’s Guide. For information on the multiple
VLAN modes, refer to Chapter 27, “Multiple VLAN Modes,” in the AT-S63
Management Software Menus Interface User’s Guide.
Note
Any port-based or tagged VLANs that you may have created are not
retained when you change the VLAN mode from the user configured
mode to a multiple VLAN mode and, at some point, reset the switch.
The user configured VLAN information is lost and you must recreate
the information if you later return the switch to the user configured
VLAN mode.
To select a VLAN mode for the switch, perform the procedure below:
1. From the home page, select Configuration.
The System page is displayed with the General tab selected by default,
as shown in Figure 5 on page 38.
2. From the Configuration menu, select the Layer 2 option.
The Layer 2 page is displayed with the MAC Address tab selected by
default, as shown in Figure 25 on page 94.
3. Select the VLAN tab.
The VLAN tab is shown in Figure 143 on page 346.
4. In the VLAN Mode section, select a VLAN mode. Only one mode can
be active on the switch at a time. The modes are:
User Configured - Port-based and tagged VLAN Mode
Multiple - Non-IEEE 802.1Q-compliant Multiple VLAN Mode
Multiple 802.1Q - IEEE 802.1Q-compliant Multiple VLAN Mode
