Setting VLAN Status

In addition to the Switch Mode parameter discussed in the previous
section, switch mode status can also be configured in the VLANs menu
by enabling or disabling the VLANs Status parameter. When VLANs are
enabled, the switch supports Tagged mode. When VLANs are disabled,
the switch supports the Basic mode.

The difference between the two procedures has to do with ingress
filtering. If you activate the Basic Mode using the Switch Mode
parameter in the System Config Menu, ingress filtering is disabled.
Changing the VLAN mode using the VLAN Status parameter in the
VLANs menu does not change the current setting of ingress filtering.

To configure a switch’s VLAN mode using the VLAN Status parameter in
the VLANs menu, perform the following procedure:

1. From the Main Menu, type 2 to select VLAN Menu.

2. From the VLAN Menu, type 1 to select VLANs Status (the current VLAN

status is shown in this menu). The following prompt is displayed:

Enter VLAN Status (E-Enable, D-Disable) ->

3. Type E to enable VLAN status, or D to disable VLAN status. Press

Return.

4. Type S to select Save Configuration Changes.

A change to the VLAN status is immediately activated on the switch.
