Delete Ports
– Will allow users to remove ports from the Service Provider VLAN configured,
using the Port List field below.
Config TPID
– Will allow users to configure the Tagged Protocol ID of the Service Provider
VLAN, in hex form.
Port Type
Allows the user to choose the type of port being utilized by the Service Provider VLAN. The user
may choose:
Access
- Access ports are for connecting Switch VLANs to customer VLANs. Gigabit ports
cannot be configured as access ports.
Uplink
- Uplink ports are for connecting Switch VLANs to the Provider VLANs on a remote
source. Only gigabit ports can be configured as uplink ports.
Port List
Use the From and To fields to set a list of ports to be placed in, or removed from, the Service
Provider VLAN. The beginning and end of the port list range are separated by a dash.

Protocol VLAN
The Switch incorporates the idea of protocol-based VLANs. This standard, defined by the IEEE 802.1v standard maps packets to
protocol-defined VLANs by examining the type octet within the packet header to discover the type of protocol associated with it.
After assessing the protocol, the Switch will forward the packets to all ports within the protocol-assigned VLAN. This feature will
benefit the administrator by better balancing load sharing and enhancing traffic classification. The Switch supports fourteen pre-
defined protocols for configuration. The user can define a protocol by properly configuring the protocol value.
The following is a list of protocol values for some common protocols.
