Here are the definitions that I pulled from page 126 of the User Guide:   T          --  The interface is a member of a VLAN. All packets forwarded by the interface are tagged. The packets contain VLAN information. U          --  The interface is a VLAN member. Packets forwarded by the interface are untagged. F          --  The interface is denied membership to a VLAN. Blank    --  The interface is not a VLAN member. Packets associated with the interface are not forwarded.   If you are wanting port 1 to be a “Trunk” and have both VLANs move across the connection.  Then you will want port 1 to have a “T” when you view the page with VLAN 2 displayed in the drop down and also when VLAN 3 is displayed.  On the port settings page for port 1 you will have the PVID set as VLAN 1 On the port settings page you will want to enter each port and set the PVID to the desired VLAN 2 or 3.  This will tag the traffic coming into the port from a VLAN unaware device. Like you would use a switchport access command in the CLI. So for ports 2-5 you will have VLAN 2 set as U on the VLAN membership table.  Then on the port settings page they will have the PVID set as VLAN 2. For ports 6-8 you have VLAN 3 set as U on the VLAN membership table.  Then on the port settings page they will have the PVID set as VLAN 3. Here is an example of the VLAN port table.  Ports:       1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   VLAN 1:   U  B  B  B  B  B   B   B VLAN 2:   T  U   U  U   U  B   B   B VLAN 3:   T  B   B  B  B   U   U   U   [IMAGE]
