Working with VLANs
Table 12-34 describes the information that is displayed. Depending on the bridge configuration, any of
the tabs might be displayed for the selected bridge.
Table 12-34 VLAN Bridge Properties
Field Description
Name VLAN bridge name.
Type VLAN bridge type.
MAC Address VLAN bridge MAC address.
VLAN ID VLAN bridge VLAN identifier.
STP Instance STP instance information, hyperlinked to the STP entry in logical
inventory.
Bridge Table Tab
MAC Address Bridge MAC address.
Port Port associated with the bridge, hyperlinked to the interface in physical
inventory.
Interfaces Tab
ID VLAN interface identifier, hyperlinked to the interface in physical
inventory.
Type VLAN interface type, such as Layer 2 VLAN.
Mode VLAN interface configuration mode:
• Unknown—The interface is not VLAN aware.
• Access—Puts the interface into permanent nontrunking mode and
negotiates to convert the link into a nontrunk link. The interface
becomes nontrunking.
• Dynamic Auto—The interface can convert the link to a trunk link. The
interface becomes a trunk if the neighbor interface is set to Trunk or
Dynamic Desirable mode.
• Dynamic Desirable—The interface actively attempts to convert the
link to a trunk link. The interface becomes a trunk if the neighboring
interface is set to Trunk, Dynamic Desirable, or Dynamic Auto mode.
Dynamic Desirable is the default mode for all Ethernet interfaces.
• Trunk—Puts the interface into permanent trunking mode and
negotiates to convert the link into a trunk link. The interface becomes
a trunk interface even if the neighbor interface is not a trunk interface.
• Dot1Q Tunnel—Configures the interface as a tunnel (nontrunking)
port to be connected in an asymmetric link with an 802.1Q trunk port.
802.1Q tunneling is used to maintain customer VLAN integrity across
a service provider network.
Native VLAN ID VLAN Identifier (VID) associated with this VLAN. The range of the
VLAN ID is 1 to 4067.
VLAN Encapsulation
Type
Type of encapsulation configured on the VLAN, such as IEEE 802.1Q.
