• Packets from Devices B and C will travel through Hybrid Port 2 with tagged VID 2. Switch B recognizes its

VLAN, passes it to port 4, and then removes tags received successfully by Device F, and vice versa.

• Packets from Device D will travel through Trunk Port 3 with tagged VID 3. Switch B will recognize its VLAN,

pass to port 5, and then remove tags received successfully by Device H. Packets from Device H will travel

through Trunk Port 3 with PVID 3. Switch A will recognize its VLAN and pass it to port 2, but will not

remove tags received successfully by Device D.

• Packets from Device E will travel through Trunk Port 3 with tagged VID 4. Switch B will recognize its VLAN,

pass it to port 7, and then remove tags received successfully by Device I. Packets from Device I will travel

through Trunk Port 3 with tagged VID 4. Switch A will recognize its VLAN and pass it to port 2, but will not

remove tags received successfully by Device E.

Configuring a Virtual LAN

To configure 802.1Q VLAN and port-based VLANs on the Moxa switch, use the VLAN Settings page to

configure the ports for either an 802.1Q VLAN or Port-based VLAN.

VLAN Mode

Setting Description Factory Default

802.1Q VLAN Sets VLAN mode to 802.1Q VLAN 802.1Q VLAN

Port-based VLAN Sets VLAN mode to Port-based VLAN

VLAN Settings: 802.1Q

When VLAN Mode is set to 802.1Q VLAN, the configuration options will be divided into the Quick Setting Panel

and VLAN ID Configuration Table. The Quick Setting Panel is generally used to configure VLAN settings for

groups of ports, with the settings pushed down to the VLAN ID Configuration Panel when the user clicks the Add

button. The VLAN ID Configuration Table can be used to configure the settings for individual ports.

Quick Setting Panel

The EDS E series provides a Quick Setting Panel that administrators can use to quickly configure VLAN

settings for single ports or groups of ports. To configure a group of ports, type the port names in the Port

column, separated commas (,) for individual port names, or colons (:) to indicate a range of ports. For example,

typing “G1,G3” applies the settings to ports G1 and G3, whereas typing “G1:G3” applies the settings to ports

G1, G2, and G3. Next, if necessary configure Type, PVID, Tagged VLAN, Untagged VLAN, and Forbidden

VLAN, and then click the Add button to move the settings down to the table at the bottom of the window.
