Setting a VLAN ID of 0 on a network when running the Initial Configuration Wizard (ICW) for Dell EMC PowerStore indicates that the network will pass untagged traffic.In the context of VLANs, an ID of 0 is typically reserved to identify priority frames and is often used to indicate that a frame is not associated with a specific VLAN; hence, it is untagged1.

In practice, this means that when VLAN ID 0 is set during the ICW, the PowerStore system will treat the traffic as belonging to the native VLAN, which carries untagged traffic. This is important for network configurations where certain ports are expected to handle traffic that is not tagged for any specific VLAN.

For more detailed information on VLAN configurations and the implications of setting different VLAN IDs during the ICW, administrators should refer to the official Dell PowerStore Network Administration documentation. This documentation provides guidelines on network settings, including VLAN configurations, to ensure proper communication and operation within the storage network infrastructure.
