to appear in the same segment or, conversely, to allow devices on the same switch to behave as
through they belong to a different LAN.

support check box, and enter a numeric VLAN ID. You need to reboot the ReadyNAS 3200 for
the VLAN function to take effect.

support VLAN. Otherwise, you can lose network access to the unit, and you
might need to reinstall the firmware to disable the VLAN setting.
