Create an advanced port-based VLAN

An advanced port-based VLAN configuration lets you create VLANs and assign ports
on the switch to a VLAN. The number of VLANs is limited to the number of ports on the
switch. In an advanced port-based VLAN configuration, one port can be a member of
multiple VLANs.
By default, all ports are members of VLAN 1, but you can change the VLAN assignment.
To create an advanced port-based VLAN and assign ports as members:
1. Open a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as the
switch, or connected directly to the switch through an Ethernet cable.
2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the switch.
