Assign Ports To Multiple Vlan Groups - NETGEAR GSS116E User Manual

Assign Ports to Multiple VLAN Groups

Port-based virtual LAN configuration assigns ports on the selected switch to a virtual LAN
group. The number of VLANs that can be created is limited to the number of ports on the
switch.
You can also create a basic port-based VLAN in which ports with the same ID are grouped
into the same VLAN group (see Create a Basic Port-Based VLAN on page 30).
By default, all ports are members of VLAN 1.
To assign ports to multiple VLAN groups in a port-based VLAN:
1. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired network connection, or connect directly to a switch that is
off-network using an Ethernet cable.
2. Launch a web browser.
3. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
If you do not know the IP address of the switch, see Access the Switch Using a Web
Browser on page 7.
The login window opens.
4. Enter the switch's password in the password field.
The switch's default password is password.
The Switch Information page displays.
5. Select VLAN > Port Based > Advanced.
The Advanced Port-based VLAN Status page displays.
6. If this is the first time that you are accessing the Advanced Port-based VLAN Status page
or if you are changing the VLAN assignment method, select the Enable radio button and
continue with Step 7.
Otherwise, see Step 9.
A pop-up window opens, informing you that the current VLAN settings will be lost.
7. Click the YES button.
The pop-up window closes.
8. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.
The VLAN Configuration and VLAN Membership sections display.
