Selecting a VLAN Mode
The AT-S62 management software features three VLAN modes:
❑ Port-based and tagged VLAN Mode (default mode)
❑ IEEE 802.1Q-compliant Multiple VLAN Mode
❑ Non-IEEE 802.1Q compliant Multiple VLAN Mode
For background information on port-based and tagged VLANs and the
multiple VLAN modes, refer to the AT-S62 Menus Interface User’s Guide.
Note
Any existing port-based or tagged VLANs are deleted 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 will be lost and will need to be
recreated 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.
2. Select the Layer 2 menu selection.
3. Select the VLAN tab.
The VLAN tab is shown in Figure 101 on page 271.
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
5. If you select one of the multiple VLAN modes, specify an uplink port
in the Uplink Port field. This port will function as the uplink port for the
VLANs. The default is port 1.
6. Click Apply.
The new mode is automatically activated on the switch.
7. To permanently save the change, select the Save Config menu
selection.
