Vlan Tagging - Gigaset DE410 IP Pro User Manual

Prefix Length
The prefix length stipulates how many bits of the IP address are used for the network pre-
fix. Enter the prefix length that is used in your network.
Pref. DNS Server:
Enter the IP address for the preferred DNS server. DNS (Domain Name System) allows you
to assign public IP addresses to symbolic names. The DNS server is required to convert the
DNS name into the IP address when a connection is being established to a server.
You can specify the IP address for your router/gateway here. This forwards address
requests from the phone to its DNS server.
There is no default setting for a DNS server.
Altern. DNS Server:
Enter the IP address for the alternate DNS server that should be used in situations where
the preferred DNS server cannot be reached.

VLAN tagging

A local network can be divided into logical subnetworks, so-called VLANs (Virtual Local Area
Network, standard IEEE 802.1Q). Multiple VLANs share a physical network and its compo-
nents, e.g., switches. Data packets of a VLAN are not forwarded to another VLAN. VLANs are
often used to separate the data traffic of different services (Internet telephony, Internet TV, ...)
and to define different priorities for the data traffic.
You can operate your phone and a PC connected to your phone's PC port in two different
VLANs. You enter the VLAN identifiers (VLAN tag) here, which you get from your network
operator.
Warning
u
If you operate the PC and the phone in different VLANs, you can no longer access the
phone's Web configurator directly from the PC.
u
If you enter an incorrect value here, you must reset the phone to its default settings
£
( page 64). After this you must re-establish phone access to the local network.
