    QOS: Indicate the priority for the port. The default setting for all ports is Normal. Quality of Service (QoS) is a way of managing traffic in a network, by treating different types of traffic with different levels of service priority. Higher priority traffic gets faster treatment during times of switch congestion.

    Click Clear Counter to start new statistics over time. Switch> VLAN Page A Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) is a means to electronically separate ports on the same switch from a single broadcast domain into separate broadcast domains. By using VLAN, users can group by logical function instead of physical location.

    Switch> VLAN> IEEE802.1Q Tag VLAN Depending on your model switch there are up to 64 static Tag VLAN groups supported on your switch. The VLAN tagging option is a standard set by the IEEE to facilitate the spanning of VLANs across multiple switches (Reference: Appendix A and IEEE Std 802.1Q-1998 Virtual Bridged Local Area Networks).
  • Page 14 Click Apply. PVID Setting All untagged packets entering the switch will by default be tagged with the port’s Primary VLAN Identification (PVID). This screen allows you to specify the PVID for each port. Take VLAN 2 for example: ports 5, 6, 7, and 8 have been checked as tagged ports for this VLAN. You must change the PVID value from “1”...

  • Page 21: Example

    4) The following scenarios will produce results as described below: (1). If an untagged packet enters Port 1, the switch will tag it with a VLAN tag value 10. The packet will have access to Port 2 and Port 3. The outgoing packet will be stripped away its tag becoming an untagged packet as it leaves Port 2.
