Appendix C: Virtual Local Area Network (Vlan): Port-Based Vlan - NETGEAR FS526T User Manual

APPENDIX C: Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN): Port-based VLAN

Port-based VLANs will help efficiently confine the broadcast traffic to the switch ports with the specific VLAN. This switch allows up to 26 port-based
VLAN groups, so each port can be in its own VLAN. A port may be a member of more than one VLAN. The default VLAN group port-based VLAN
that have all ports belonging to VLAN 1.
Port-based VLAN Behavior in the FS526T
Packets received by the switch will be treated in the following way:
When a packet enters a port, it only can proceed to other ports on that same VLAN. The packet will only be sent to other ports with the
o
same VLAN ID membership.
If the port in which the packet entered does not have membership with the same VLAN as the source port does, the packet will be
o
dropped.
Example
This example basically demonstrates how the port-based VLANs work to meet your needs.
1)

VLAN 1 (IT department)
VLAN 2 (Sales department)
VLAN 3 (Marketing department)
VLAN 4 (Accounting department).
2)
