Assigning the VLANs to the Ports

Back to Top

Now that the VLANs have been added, we can assign the VLANs to the interfaces in order to place hosts in certain VLANs. To do this, we need to change the default Excluded (E) port VLAN setting to Untagged (U).

In this example, a client connected to port 4 will be placed in VLAN10, whereas the client connected to port 5 is placed in VLAN20.

1. Untag the necessary VLANs on the relevant switch-ports.

• Uncheck the TRUNK PORTS checkbox on port 4 and 5.
• Under port 4 and port 5, change the default VLAN1 from Untagged (U) to Excluded (E).
• Under port 4, change VLAN10 from Excluded (E) to Untagged (U).
• Under port 5, change VLAN20 from Excluded (E) to Untagged (U).

2. Apply the changes by clicking on the APPLY button.
