    Table 6-2. VLAN Switch Port Dialog Box Parameters
    Parameter
    Defines...
    Port
    The switch port associated with the VLAN.
    Name
    The switch default port name or the user assigned port name.
    Binding Type
    The binding types are set through the switch ports. See “Assigning VLANs to a Port and Associated Issues” in Chapter 8, “Configuring Ports.”
    • Static - when switch ports are added manually and can be removed
    • Persistent - when switch ports are bound to VLANs automatically but can not be removed. automatically (i.e., if the binding for a switch port is set to 'Bind to All').
    • Dynamic - when a switch port is assigned to VLAN using automatic VLAN binding,(i.e. if the binding for a switch port is set to “Bind to Received”). The VLAN may be deleted, but if the port VLAN binding is “Bind to Received”, the VLAN may be re-added by receiving tagged traffic. This causes the port to again dynamically bind to the VLAN.
    See Configuring Switch Ports Settings” in Chapter 8, “Configuring Ports,” for more information.
    Frame Format
    • From Port - causes port to send frames using the frame format specified in the Trunk Mode attribute of the corresponding switch port.
    • Clear - causes port to send untagged frames on this port for this VLAN.

    NOTE: Note: See VLAN Introduction” earlier in this chapter.
