VLANs: A Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) is a means to electronically separate ports on the same switch from a single broadcast domain into
separate broadcast domains. By using VLAN, users can group by logical function instead of physical location. There are 64VLAN supported on this
switch. This switch supports static, port-based VLANs.
The VLAN tagging option is a standard set by the IEEE to facilitate the spanning of VLANs across multiple switches (Reference: Appendix C and
IEEE Std 802.1Q-1998 Virtual Bridged Local Area Networks).
From this menu, you can create a new VLAN, add new ports to an existing VLAN, remove ports from an existing VLAN or, delete a VLAN.
