QVLAN Static Memberships
(Displayed for Q-Access and Q-Trunk ports only.)
For Q-Access and Q-Trunk ports, the ingressing and egressing Ethernet
traffic is filtered according to the port‟s static QVLAN memberships.
These memberships are user-configurable.
QVLAN
A Q-Access port has only one static QVLAN membership (the Default
QVLAN ID) and no additional QVLAN memberships can be assigned.
A Q-Trunk port can have 1 to 50 static QVLAN memberships. One of
them is the Default QVLAN ID. Additional QVLAN memberships are
entering in the QVLAN spin boxes. The QVLAN memberships can be
entered in any order.
Note: The very first entry in the QVLAN membership list is the port‟s
Default QVLAN ID. The displayed value is copied from the Default
D-PVLAN field in the top right frame.
The user must ensure that none of the listed QVLAN IDs are
matching any of the D-PVLAN VIDs used on local P-Trunk ports.
If this engineering rule is violated, an alarm is produced and the
QVLAN ID is displayed in red to indicate possible traffic
It is not recommended to have the same static QVLAN
membership on multiple local ports with different D-PVLAN
memberships. This is to prevent any traffic misrouting that
would occur if the same MAC address appeared in these
QVLANs. If this recommendation is ignored, a warning will be
reported in the Unit Status field (not propagated to NMS).
The following frames will be allowed to ingress a Q-Trunk /
Q-Access port:
- Tagged frames whose (outer) QVLAN ID is matching one of the
listed QVLAN memberships (if "Allow input of tagged frames" is
checked).
- Untagged frames and 802.1p frames (if "Allow input of untagged
frames and apply default QVLAN ID" is checked).
