If no membership VLANs are defined, is all VLAN traffic dropped?


I did some testing to answer this question. If no membership VLANs are defined, it appears all traffic is passed (including VLAN traffic and untagged traffic). However, if any VLANs are defined, then untagged traffic will not pass.

Later, I found this useful reference:

I'd still like to see VLAN1 associated (or able to be associated) with untagged traffic as some other vendors do. Otherwise, perhaps "VLAN0" could represent untagged traffic, so it could be added to the Membership VLANs.

For now, I'm just excited that tagged and untagged packets are actually passed when no VLANs are defined. I've been defining VLANs in the ePMP hardware all along and have remained frustrated that I could not get untagged traffic to pass. Now I'll be re-configuring some hardware tomorrow to allow for untagged traffic.
