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, refer to
Chapter 20, Tagged and Port-based Virtual LANs on page 385. For
information on the multiple VLAN modes, refer to Chapter 22, Multiple
VLAN Modes on page 446.
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 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.
The System page is displayed with the General tab selected by
default, as shown in Figure 194 on page 586.
2. From the Configuration menu, select Layer 2.
The Layer 2 page is displayed with the MAC Address tab selected
by default, as shown in Figure 208 on page 622.
3. Select the VLAN tab.
The VLAN tab is shown in Figure 275 on page 762.
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.
