VLAN Setting

A Virtual LAN (VLAN) is a logical grouping of network devices where the members can be on
different physical segments. It allows 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 to reconnecting a group of network devices to
another Layer 2 switch. However, all the network devices are still plugged into the same
switch physically.

VLAN Mode

The switch supports Port-based and Tag-based VLAN modes. In port-based VLAN mode, the
tag setting is useless, since this mode is for separating traffic only on this single switch and
there is no handover of network traffic within VLAN groups to other switches. For traffic
handover to other switches, the tag-based VLAN mode should be used. When the tag-based
VLAN is selected, the user can define the handling method of a VLAN tag to the specified
port, including "Add Tag", "Remove Tag" or "Don't care".
The default VLAN mode is port-based VLAN. To switch to tag-based VLAN mode, click
Change VLAN mode button. The following message will appear to ask for confirmation of
changing the mode.
