Page 27: Vlan Configuration
3.7 VLAN Configuration The VLAN Configuration menu allows users to configure the Gigabyte GN-GSV2401S into their networks. VLANs can be assigned to different ports. Only one untagged VLAN can be assigned to one port alternatively multiple tagged VLANs can be assigned to the same port. - Page 28 Figure 3.16 VLAN Configuration There are two most popular VLAN implementation, IEEE 802.1q Tagged VLAN and Port-based VLAN. GN-GSV2401S supports both VLAN implementation. The biggest difference between both VLAN implementations is Tagged VLAN can cross Layer-2 switch but Port-based VLAN can not.
- Page 29 VLAN 2 and has the Port VLAN ID number 2 (PVID=2). If the destination lies on another port (found through a normal forwarding table lookup), the switch then looks to see if the other port (Port 10) is a member of VLAN 2 (and can therefore receive VLAN 2 packets).
- Page 30 Create a VLAN Group Enter a VLAN Name and a VLAN ID, and then you can configure the VLAN tagging which indicates whether or not VLAN tags will be included on frames passing through this port.
- Page 31 Edit/Delete a VLAN Group You can modify or delete the settings for an existing VLAN...
- Page 32 Port-Based VLAN Port-based VLANs are VLANs where the packet forwarding decision is based on the destination MAC address and its associated port. You must define outgoing ports allowed for each port when using port-based VLANs. Note that VLAN only governs the outgoing traffic, in the other word, it is unidirectional. Therefore, if you wish to allow two subscriber ports to talk to each other, e.g., between conference rooms in a hotel, you must define the egress (outgoing port) for both ports.
- Page 33 Create a VLAN Group Up to 26 port-based VLAN groups can be designated for the GN-GSV2401S. Individual ports can exit in two or more VLANs simultaneously, so VLAN groups can overlap or intersect.
