Selecting a VLAN Mode
The following procedure explains how to select a VLAN mode. Available
modes are:
❑ User configured VLAN mode (port-based and tagged VLANs)
❑ IEEE 802.1Q Compliant Multiple VLAN mode
❑ Non-IEEE 802.1Q Compliant Multiple VLAN mode
Note
Any port-based or tagged VLANs you 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 will need to be recreated if
you later return the switch to the user configured VLAN mode.
To select a VLAN mode, perform the following steps:
1. From the Main Menu, type 2 to select VLAN Configuration.
2. From the VLAN Configuration menu, type 2 to select VLAN Mode.
The following prompt is displayed:
Enter VLAN Mode (U-UserConfig, M-Multiple, Q-802.1Q
Multiple VLANs) ->
3. Type Q to activate 802.1Q Multiple VLAN mode, M for Non-802.1Q
compliant multiple VLAN mode, or U to create your own port-based
and tagged VLANs. User configured is the default setting.
If you enter Q or M, the following prompt is displayed:
Enter Uplink VLAN Port number -> [1 to 26] ->
4. Enter the port number on the switch that will function as the uplink
port for the other ports. You can specify only one port.
The following prompt is displayed:
SUCCESS
Press any key to continue ...
The new VLAN mode is now active on the switch.
5. After making changes, type R until you return to the Main Menu. Then
type S to select Save Configuration Changes.
