What is the result of setting a VLAN ID of 0 on a network when running ICW for Dell PowerStore?

In the context of Dell PowerStore network configuration, including during the Initial Configuration Wizard (ICW), setting a VLAN ID to 0 is the specific method used to designate that the network traffic should be untagged. This means that the Ethernet frames sent over this network will not have an IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tag inserted. This is the standard convention for handling traffic on a switch port's native VLAN or an access port.

A. Network will pass tagged traffic: This is incorrect. Tagged traffic requires a specific, non-zero VLAN ID (typically in the range of 1-4094) to be assigned.

B. Static route is set: This is incorrect. VLAN configuration is a Layer 2 function, while setting a static route is a Layer 3 (routing) function. They are configured independently.

D. Default route is set: This is incorrect. Similar to a static route, a default route is a Layer 3 configuration and is not created by setting a Layer 2 VLAN ID.

1. Dell PowerStore: Networking Guide for PowerStore T Models (Version 3.6)

Page 23, Section: VLANs: "If a VLAN ID is not specified for a network, or if the VLAN ID is set to 0, the network is considered untagged. If a VLAN ID from 1 through 4094 is specified, the network is considered tagged."

2. Dell PowerStore Manager Overview (Version 3.6)

Page 51, Section: Create a network: "For untagged networks, specify a VLAN ID of 0." This instruction is part of the network creation wizard within PowerStore Manager, which follows the same principles as the ICW.
