    User’s Manual of NS2503-24P/2C 6.5 VLAN Configuration 6.5.1 Virtual LANs A Virtual LAN (VLAN) is a logical network group that limits the broadcast domain. It allows you to isolate network traffic so only members of the VLAN receive traffic from the same VLAN members. Basically, creating a VLAN within a switch is logically equivalent of reconnecting a group of network devices to another Layer 2 switch.

  • Page 157: Vlan Mode: Port-Based

    User’s Manual of NS2503-24P/2C The Managed Switch support both Port-based VLAN and Tag-based (802.1Q) VLAN modes. The default configuration is tag-based (802.1Q) VLAN. In the 802.1Q VLAN, initially, all ports on the switch belong to default VLAN, VID is 1. You cannot delete the default VLAN group in 802.1Q VLAN mode.
