[. . . ] · Life Remaining - This is the life remaining before an idle time out. If the switch received any packets with the same destination MAC address, then the life value will reset to 15. If the life value decreases to 0, then it will be removed from the table. A static address entry will appear as locked or locked multicast in the address table. That entry will have a management subtitle. VLAN This screen is used to configure the 802. 1q VLAN and port based VLAN feature, and to add and delete individual 802. 1q VLAN entries. Global VLAN Setting · Disable - This will disable all VLAN function. · 802. 1q Check - In this 802. 1q mode, when a packet comes in, the switch will parse for it's VLAN tag first. If the packet does not have a VLAN tag, the default VID of the inport will be used as its VLAN ID. If the final VLAN ID is not listed in the VLAN table, this packet will be dropped. Otherwise, the switch will search the switch address table for the egress (output) port. Once the egress port is determined, the member option will be used to determine if the switch will add or remove the tag or drop the packets. But if the incoming port is not a member of this VLAN ID, this packet will also be dropped. · Port Based - Each port has an outport vector that can be configured below. Packets can only exit the ports that are enabled in the outport vector. Click the Apply Global Setting button to save your global settings. Port Based VLAN Setting · This is to set the Port Based VLAN Map. For each port, if the output field is checked, then packets are allowed to exit that port. Packets are not allowed to enter and exit the same port. Figure 7-18: VLAN Tab Chapter 7: Using the Wireless-G Ethernet Bridge Web-based Utility Wireless 34 Wireless-G Ethernet Bridge with 5-Port Switch The port1 to port6 checkbox is disabled so that the user can always use port1 as a back door to access the web config page when the port based VLAN is enabled. · 802. 1q Port VLAN Setting - Default VID Is used when 802. 1q is enabled but input packet does not have a VLAN tag. In this case, the Default VID will be used as the packet's VLAN tag. Even if the input packet has a VLAN tag, user can still enabled the Force VID to change the VLAN tag of the packet to the Default VID of the inport. · New VLAN ID - This is for adding new VLAN ID and the member tag into the VLAN table. The member tag determine if a port is a member of the VLAN and how to modify the packet when it exits the switch. UnMod - This port is a member of this VLAN, packets will exit unmodified.
