VLANs Overview
The building blocks of VLANs are switch ports. To build a new VLAN you need to define a VLAN
name and number. You can then add switch ports to the VLAN by configuring the PVID of the
port to the VLAN number. The ports are members of the VLAN whose number is their PVID. In
addition, you can configure the VLAN tagging mode and binding style of the switch ports.
VLAN #1 is the default VLAN and is named Default.
For more information about VLANs, refer to VLANs in the Network Protocols section of The
