DGS-3224TG Gigabit Ethernet Switch User's Guide
Note: The DGS-3224TG supports a maximum of 16K multicast MAC address entities.

Configure VLANs

The switch reserves one VLAN, VID = 1, called the DEFAULT_VLAN for internal use. The factory default
setting assigns all ports on the switch to the DEFAULT_VLAN. As new VLANs are configured, their
respective member ports are removed from the DEFAULT_VLAN. If the DEFAULT_VLAN is reconfigured,
all ports are again assigned to it. Ports that are not wanted as part of the DEFAULT_VLAN are removed
during the configuration.
Packets cannot cross VLANs. If a member of one VLAN wants to connect to another VLAN, it must be
through a router.
Note: The switch's default is to assign all ports to a single 802.1Q VLAN named
DEFAULT_VLAN. As new VLANs are created, the member ports assigned to the new
VLAN will be removed from the default VLAN port member list.
Note: The DEFAULT_VLAN has a VID = 1. An IP interface called System in the IP interface entry
menu also has a VID = 1, and therefore corresponds to the DEFAULT_VLAN.
To create a new 802.1Q VLAN:
The VLAN menu adds an entry to edit the VLAN definitions and to configure the port settings for IEEE
802.1Q VLAN support. Highlight Configure VLANs from the Configuration menu and press Enter.
802.1Q Static VLAN Settings
