Configuring VLANs
Virtual LANs, or VLANs, provide a way to create a logical network
grouping without regard to physical location of the network nodes.
For more information about VLANs, refer to "Virtual LANs" in Chapter 2.
There are two main steps to set up a VLAN with the Web Device Manager:
• Set the switch's VLAN operation mode.
• Configure the type of VLAN you selected.
To set the switch's VLAN operation mode
1 Click the Configure VLAN menu and then click VLAN Operation
Mode.
2 From the Current VLAN mode box, click the type of VLAN to set up.
You can set the Express 460T switch to use port-based, MAC-based, or
tag-based VLANs. See "Virtual LANs" in Chapter 2 for more
information about VLAN types.
3 Click Submit.
4 The switch will automatically reboot. The Express 460T must be
rebooted whenever you change its VLAN operation mode.
After the switch restarts, you can configure the type of VLAN that you
selected.
