Configure VLAN
This is the third category of the Web-based management program. The Configure VLAN options depend on
which VLAN or MAC-based broadcast domain mode you are in. Mode Setup and MAC-based are the main
screens for MAC-based broadcast domains. Mode Setup and Port based VLAN Setup are the main screens
for port-based VLANs. Mode Setup, 802.1Q VLAN Configuration (Port VID Setup, Ingress Filtering
Check, 802.1Q VLAN Setup, GVRP Configuration, and GMRP Configuration) and GMRP
Configuration (Device GMRP Configuration and 802.1Q VLAN Multicast FDB) are the main screens
for 802.1Q VLANs.
Please note that if you are unsure about this material, we highly recommend consulting Chapter 5, "Switch
Management Concepts."
Mode Setup
Figure 7-26. Configure VLAN Mode window
To use one of these three modes, select MAC Based Broadcast Domains, 802.1Q or Port-based under Restart
VLAN Mode--otherwise, leave the setting at Disabled. Then click Apply and reboot the Switch.
Mac-based
A MAC-based broadcast domain is a collection of users or ports grouped together for the purpose of secure,
autonomous broadcasting and multicasting. Members of a MAC-based broadcast domain must all be directly
connected to the Switch. The Switch supports up to twelve MAC-based broadcast domains.
