What happens if the switch receives frames that are already tagged or not carrying any VLAN tag?
If the switch receives frames that are already tagged, they will be classified to the VLAN group indicated on that frame's VLAN tag. If the switch receives frames not carrying any VLAN tag, these frames will be classified to the VLAN group indicated on the switch’s PVID (port VLAN ID).

What is a PVID?
PVID stands for Port VLAN ID and is used to designate the VLAN ID assigned to untagged frames arriving at a specific port. By assigning a PVID to a port, you ensure that traffic without VLAN tags is correctly assigned to the appropriate VLAN within the switch.

What are the egress settings for VLAN configuration on my web-managed switch?
Egress settings determine how the switch handles outgoing traffic from the VLAN. You can choose to set a port as a "tag egress member," which preserves VLAN information in outgoing traffic, or as an "untag egress member," which removes VLAN tags from outgoing traffic. This choice depends on the compatibility of the next…

How to Configure the Switch to Translate Customer VLAN to Service Provider VLAN
VLAN Mapping provides a mechanism to map a Customer VLAN to a service provider’s VLAN (Translated-VLAN). Packets received on a port will map to a Translated VLAN based on a port ID and customer VLAN ID from packets. VLAN Mapping also can be used to prevent traffic from forwarding between different customers when they use…

How to configure the switch to perform DHCP service in a VLAN
The example shows administrators how to configure the switch to provide dynamic IP addresses to hosts in each VLANs. Note: All network IP addresses and subnet masks are used as examples in this article. Please replace them with your actual network IP addresses and subnet masks. This example was tested using XGS4600-32…

How to configure the switch to improve voice traffic quality (V4.70 and previous firmware version)
The example shows administrators how to use Voice VLAN to improve Voice traffic. Like the introduction in topic 6.2, Voice VLAN not only groups voice traffic into an assigned VLAN, but also assign the voice traffic a certain priority. Administrators can use this priority to improve Voice traffic quality. The Voice VLAN…

How to configure the switch to separate VOIP traffic from data traffic
The example shows administrators how to use Voice VLAN to separate untagged VOIP traffic from untagged data traffic. Unlike traditional VOIP applications, the Voice VLAN feature separates VOIP and data traffic as traffic reaches the switch. This means that the VLAN architecture begins on the switch and not on the IP Phones…

How to configure an IP phone's VLAN using LLDP-MED
The example shows administrators how to use LLDP-MED to configure an IP Phone’s VLAN ID. Any IP Phone connected to the switch will be assigned to the certain VLAN based on the switch’s port. In the following topic, we will also introduce other ways to send VOIP traffic into a specific (Voice) VLAN. Implementing VOIP allows…

Why is Voice VLAN not working on the GS1900 - 2020/05/08 update
The current behavior in the GS1900 series is to process the packets that originally have the tag (which should match the voice VLAN's VID). For other untagged packets, the GS1900 will not do anything. We have already noticed this and the GS1900 series’s behavior of voice VLAN will be modified in order to make Zyxel product…
