Vlan Mode Configuration - Lancom GS-1224P Manual

4.2.4

VLAN Mode Configuration

The switch supports Tag-based VLAN (802.1q) and Port-based VLAN. Its
VLAN mode supports 24 active VLANs and and the available VLAN ID range
is from 1~4094. VLAN configuration is used to divide a LAN into smaller ones.
With proper configuration you can not only gain improved security and incre-
ased performance but greatly reduced VLAN management.
VLAN Mode Setting
The VLAN Mode Selection function includes four modes: Port-based, Tag-
based and Metro mode.
Parameter:
VLAN Mode:
Port-based:
A port-based VLAN defines its members by port. Any packet coming
in or going out from any port of a port-based VLAN will be accepted.
No filtering criterion applies in a port-based VLAN, the only criterion
is the physical connection to a member port. For example in a port-
based VLAN with the member ports 1, 2, 3 and 4, the ports 1, 2, 3
and 4 can communicate with each other, but port 5 can not commu-
nicate with them. Each port-based VLAN is identified with an ID (1 to
4094) and you can capture further information about the VLAN in a
description. This switch supports up to maximal 24 port-based
VLANs.
As soon as the VLAN mode is set on "port-based", the display auto-
matically changes to the configuration of the port-based VLAN
groups.
