3.5.3 Tag Base and Port Base

Configure Tag Base or Port Base, go to: System >> LAN Port Mapping.
AMG-2100/AMG-2101 supports multiple Service Zones in either of the two VLAN modes, Port-Based
or Tag-Based, but not concurrently. In Port-Base mode, each LAN port can only serve traffic from
one Service Zone as each Service Zone is identified by physical LAN ports. In Tag-Based mode, each
LAN port can serve traffic from any Service Zone as each Service Zone is identified by VLAN tags carried
within message frames. By default, the system is in Port-Based mode with Default Service
Zone enabled and all LAN ports are mapped to Default Service Zone. Compare the two figures
below to see the differences.
