4.4 VLAN Setting

A Virtual LAN (VLAN) is a logical network grouping that limits the broadcast domain,
which would allow you to isolate network traffic, so only the members of the same
VLAN will receive traffic from the ones of the same VLAN. Basically, creating a VLAN
from a switch is logically equivalent of reconnecting a group of network devices to
another Layer 2 switch. However, all the network devices are still plugged into the
same switch physically.

4.4.1 VLAN Mode

You may select the VLAN Mode of the switch.
Port-based VLAN is for separating traffic only on this single switch. There is no
handover of network traffic within VLAN groups to other switches. For the handover
to other switches use Tag Based VLAN. In VLAN Mode you can switch from Tag to
Port Based VLAN. Port Based VLAN is the default mode.
Figure 4-1
After having switched to Tag Based VLAN Mode, the screen changes. On this screen
you can now define and configure your Up- and Downlink ports. These are important
since here the handover between the switches of your network takes place.
