Figure 5-4. System> Switch Status: Port-Based Vlan & Trunk - NETGEAR FS526T User Manual

The next part of the Switch Status page shows the Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) status. A VLAN is a way to electronically separate specified
ports on the same switch into separate broadcast domains. By using VLAN, users can group by logical function instead of physical location. This
switch supports 26 VLANs.
This page displays the port-based VLAN settings. The default VLAN setting is all ports belong to VLAN 1 as shown in Figure 2-4. To configure
user-defined VLAN groups, go to the Switch> VLAN page.

Port Trunking is a feature that allows multiple links between switches to work as one virtual link (aggregate link). Trunks can be defined for similar
port types only. For example, a 10/100 port cannot form a Port Trunk with a gigabit port. For 10/100 ports, trunks can only be formed within the
same bank. A bank is a set of eight ports. Up to four trunks can be operating at the same time.
This page displays the Trunk status as shown in Figure 2-4. The default Trunk setting is all four groups disabled. To configure user-defined trunk
groups, go to the Switch> Trunking page.
