Static VLAN

VLAN Configuration

A VLAN is a group of ports that can be located anywhere in the network, but
communicate as though they belong to the same physical segment. The VLAN
pages in the web interface describe how to create VLAN groups, add port
members, and specify how VLAN tagging is used.
This chapter describes the following topics:
Static VLAN — Create VLANs and add port members.

VLAN Setting — Configures a management VLAN and port VLAN IDs.

Use the VLAN > Static VLAN page to create or remove VLAN groups and add port
members.
Before enabling VLANs for the switch, you must first assign each port to the VLAN
group(s) in which it will participate. By default all ports are assigned to VLAN 1 as
untagged ports. Assign ports to VLANs as tagged if they are connected to 802.1Q
VLAN compliant devices, or untagged they are not connected to any VLAN-aware
devices.
Usage Guidelines
If you want to create a small port-based VLAN for devices attached directly to a

single switch, you can assign ports to the same untagged VLAN. However, to
participate in a VLAN group that crosses several switches, you should create a
VLAN for that group and enable tagging on all ports.
Ports can be assigned to multiple tagged or untagged VLANs.

VLAN 1 is the default untagged VLAN containing all ports on the switch.

