It is recommended that the administrator decides which mode is better for a multiple-service-zone deployment
before proceeding further with the system configuration. Settings for the two VLAN modes are slightly different, for
example, the VLAN Tag setting is required for Tag-Based mode.
Ÿ
Select Service Zone Mode: Select a VLAN mode, either Port-Based or Tag-Based.
The switches deployed under WHG301 in Port-Based mode must be Layer2 Switches only. The switch
deployed under WHG301 in Tag-Based mode must be a VLAN switch only.
Ø Port-Based: When Port-Based mode is selected, traffic from different virtual Service Zones will be
distinguished by physical LAN ports. Each LAN port can be mapped to a Service Zone in the form of a
many-to-one mapping between ports and Service Zones.
Specify a desired Service Zone for each LAN Port: For each LAN port, select a Service Zone to
o
which the LAN port is to be mapped from the drop-down list box.
By factory default, all LAN ports are mapped to Default Service Zone; therefore, the administrator can
enter the web management interface via any LAN port upon the first power up of the system. From the
drop-down list box, all disabled Service Zones are gray-out; to activate any desired Service Zone,
please configure the desired Service Zone under the Service Zone tab and enable its Service Zone
Status (refer to 4.1.7. Service Zones).
