VLAN membership

In the navigation pane, the first four icons represent the following types of VLAN memberships:


VLAN type Description
Unassigned
A VLAN that contain ports removed from all port-based VLANs. If no devices in the network contain unassigned ports, a table does not open in the contents pane.
Tagging
VLANs with one or more ports with tagging enabled (user-defined). If a tagged frame is received on a tagged port, with a VLAN ID specified in the tag, the switch directs it to that VLAN, if it is present. Tagged ports can belong to multiple VLANs and multiple spanning tree groups.
Isolated Routing Port (IRP)
VLANs that route IP packets to a single device in a network.
Note: IRPs are applicable only to the Passport 1000 Series switch.
Bridge Routing (brouter ports)
Single port VLANs that can route IP packets as well as bridge all nonroutable traffic. The routing interface is not subjected to the Spanning Tree Protocol.
Note: Bridge routing, or brouter ports, are applicable to the Passport 1000 Series switch and the Passport 8600 modules only.
