•
Port
— The port number included in the VLAN.
•
Port VLAN Mode
— The port mode. Possible values are:
–
General
— The port belongs to VLANs, and each VLAN is user-defined as tagged or untagged
(full 802.1Q mode).
–
Access
— The port belongs to a single untagged VLAN. When a port is in Access mode, the packet
types which are accepted on the port cannot be designated. Ingress filtering cannot be
enabled/disabled on an access port.
–
Trunk
— The port belongs to VLANs in which all ports are tagged (except for one port that can be
untagged).
–
Customer
— The port belongs to VLANs. When a port is in Customer mode, the added tag
provides a VLAN ID to each customer, this ensures private and segregated network traffic.
•
PVID (1-4095)
— Assigns a VLA N ID to untagged packets. The possible values are 1-4094. VLAN
4095 is defined as per standard and industry practice as the discard VLAN. Packets classified to the
Discard VLAN are dropped.
