Araknis Networks® 310 Series Router
User Interface Manual
Advanced > VLANs
Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) are used to segment traffic on the LAN. Proper setup and use of
VLANs can increase the reliability and security of the network.
Note – LAN4 has some communication limitations with LAN1–3, usually with discovery protocols.
If you are using the router-on-a stick topology, use LAN4 to connect your router to your master
switch. If you are using multiple ports on the router, use LAN1–3; reserve LAN4 for uses that do
not communicate with other LAN ports.

Inter VLAN Routing: Select whether routing between VLANs is enabled or disabled. This allows

on each VLAN that you want communicating with another.
•
Device Management: This permits devices on this LAN access to the gateway (this router).

LAN#: Configure the LAN ports on the router for the VLAN. A port may be configured as one of one
following options:
• Untagged: The port is a member of the specified VLAN. VLAN frames handled through this port are
not tagged with a VLAN ID.
• Tagged: The port is a member of the specified VLAN. VLAN frames handled through the port are
tagged with a VLAN ID.
• Excluded: The port is not a member of the specified VLAN. This is the default setting.
