Setting a Switch’s VLAN Mode
This section contains the procedure for setting a switch’s VLAN mode.
You can configure a switch to support port-based and tagged VLANs or
to operate in the Basic VLAN mode. Port-based and tagged VLANs and
the Basic VLAN mode are described in earlier sections in this chapter.
Note
Changing a switch’s VLAN mode resets the switch. The switch does
not forward traffic during the brief period required to reload the
AT-S60 management software.
To configure a switch’s VLAN mode, perform the following procedure:
1. From the Main Menu, type 5 to select System Menu.
2. From the System Menu, type 1 to select Configure System.
3. From the Configure System menu, type 1 to select Configure System
Software.
4. From the Configure System Software menu, type 1 to toggle the
Switch Mode setting as desired.
Option 1 - Switch Mode in the Configure System Software menu
toggles the switch between port-based and tagged VLANs and the
Basic VLAN mode. When the option is showing Tagged, the switch
supports port-based and tagged VLANs. When the option is showing
Basic, the switch is operating in the Basic VLAN mode.
The system displays a confirmation prompt.
5. Type Y to change the switch VLAN mode or N to cancel this
procedure.
If you responded with Y for yes, the switch automatically reboots and
your management session is ended. To continue managing the
switch, you must reestablish your management session once the
switch has completed reloading the AT-S60 management software.
