You can create up to 8 VLANs, and you can also restrict any VLAN, and the computers on it, from admin-
istering the Gateway.
K VLAN Name – A descriptive name for the VLAN.
K Type – LAN or WAN Port(s) can be enabled on the VLAN. You can choose a type designation as fol-
lows:
By-Port: indicating that the VLAN is port-based. When this setting is enabled on a Gateway with a
LAN Ethernet Managed Switch, the switch will be segmented into the number of physical ports. Each
port can then independently join VLANs, otherwise the LAN ethernet port can join VLANs as a single
port. The ports set up on VLANs for this switch will insert a default VLAN identifier (VID) into any non-
802.1q-tagged Ethernet packet received, and they will strip out any 802.1q header within a packet
transmitted through the port with a VID matching the VLAN's VID. The default VID for the VLAN is
selected by the Gateway.
Global: indicating that the ports joining this VLAN are part of a global 802.1q Ethernet VLAN. This
VLAN includes ports on this Gateway and may include ports within other devices throughout the net-
work. The VID in this case may define the behavior of traffic between all devices on the network hav-
ing ports that are members of this VLAN segment.
K VLAN ID – If you select Global as the VLAN Type, the VLAN ID field appears for you to enter a VID.
This must be a unique identifying number between 1 and 4094.
K Admin Restricted – If you want to prevent administrative access to the Gateway from this VLAN,
check the checkbox.
K 802.1p Priority Bit: If you set this from the pull-down menu to a value greater than 0, all packets of
this VLAN with unmarked priority bits (pbits) will be re-marked to this priority.
