Non-802.1Q

Compliant

Multiple VLAN

Mode

The Non-802.1Q Compliant Multiple VLAN mode is appropriate when
the device connected to the uplink port is non-802.1Q compatible,
meaning that the device cannot handle tagged packets.

This mode has similarities to the 802.1Q-compliant Multiple VLAN mode.
Like the latter, it places each port into a separate VLAN as an untagged
port. It also uses the same mechanism in naming VLANs and assigning
VIDs and PVIDs.

The main difference is in the uplink port. Rather than being tagged, it is
untagged. This is why the mode is referred to as non-802.1Q compliant.
To be compliant, a port cannot be an untagged member of more than
one VLAN at a time. Since in this mode the uplink port is an untagged
member of multiple VLANs, this mode is non-compliant.

It should also be noted that while the other ports on the switch reside in
separate VLANs, they are also untagged members of the Uplink VLAN.

The advantage of this mode is that the device connected to the uplink
port does not have to be 802.1Q compliant.

When you select the Non-802.1Q Multiple VLAN mode, you are asked to
specify the uplink port. The switch then automatically configures the
VLANs.
