The VLAN view allows you to configure VLAN devices.
At the top of the page is a list of selectable devices.
When a particular device is selected, details about it is shown in the configuration section.
| Section | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Name of the device. |
| Base Device | Base Device to create interface for. |
| 802.1q | 802_1q tag. |
| 802.1p | 802_1q priority. |
| Bridge | Setting to enable network bridge use. |
802.1q
IEEE 802.1Q is a standard for Ethernet VLANs where VLANs are given a numeric tag. The tag is used to identify traffic in networks, and decide how to handle it.
This allows multiple bridged networks to share the same physical link without leaking information to each other networks.
802.1p
802.1p is a standard for priority levels, identifying the class of service a VLAN is to be used for. There are 8 different levels, numbered from 0 to 7.
| Priority | Acronym | Traffic types | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | BK | Background | Lowest |
| 1 | BE | Best Effort | |
| 2 | EE | Excellent Effort | |
| 3 | CA | Critical Applications | |
| 4 | VI | Video | < 100 ms latency and jitter |
| 5 | VO | Voice | < 10 ms latency and jitter |
| 6 | IC | Internetwork Control | |
| 7 | NC | Network Control | Highest |
