Configuring VLAN Settings

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. VLANs help to
simplify network management by allowing you to move devices to a new VLAN
without having to change any physical connections. VLANs can be easily
organized to reflect departmental groups (such as Marketing or R&D), usage
groups (such as e-mail), or multicast groups (used for multimedia applications such
as videoconferencing). You can create up to 16 VLANs on the switch.
To create a single VLAN, enter the VLAN ID and click Add. Use the VLAN ID
window to configure port members or LAG members for a specific VLAN index.
