4.7.7 VLAN configuration
A Virtual LAN (VLAN) is a logical network grouping 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 from a switch is logically equivalent of reconnecting a group of network
devices to another Layer 2 switch. However, all the network devices are still plug into the same switch
physically.
The switch supports port-based, 802.1Q (tagged-based) and protocol-base VLAN in web management
page. In the default configuration, VLAN support is "disable".
Change VLAN mode for every time, you have to reboot the switch to apply new settings.
Note
:
4.7.7.1 Port-based VLAN
Packets can go among only members of the same VLAN group. Note all unselected ports are treated as
belonging to another single VLAN. If the port-based VLAN enabled, the VLAN-tagging is ignored.
In order for an end station to send packets to different VLANs, it itself has to be either capable of tagging
packets it sends with VLAN tags or attached to a VLAN-aware bridge that is capable of classifying and
tagging the packet with different VLAN ID based on not only default PVID but also other information
about the packet, such as the protocol.
