4.4.2 Static 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 Managed Switch supports Port-based and 802.1Q (Tagged-based) VLAN in web management page. In the default
configuration, VLAN support is "802.1Q".

No matter what basis is used to uniquely identify end nodes and assign these nodes
VLAN membership, packets cannot cross VLAN without a network device performing a
routing function between the VLAN.
The Managed Switch supports Port-based VLAN and IEEE 802.1Q VLAN. The port
untagging function can be used to remove the 802.1 tag from packet headers to
maintain compatibility with devices that are tag-unaware.
