Page 14: Port-Based Vlan
2.5 Port-Based VLAN Port-based VLAN divides the switches ports into different Virtual LAN domain groups. After setting up port -based VLAN, ports allocated into different VLAN groups can not access each other. This is like creating virtual switches that do not connect to each other. The VLAN initial setting page is shown as below: Of course, you need to click the Enable/Disable link text to enable/disable port-based VLAN. -
Page 15: Add Port-Based Vlan Groups
Add Port-Based VLAN Groups To add a port-based VLAN group, select the Create New VLAN in VLAN NO dropdown of the Port-Based VLAN page shown as below: After selecting Create New VLAN, the page will change to the following: In the example page, VLAN NO will be auto assigned. The administrator simply needs to set VLAN Port Members. - Page 16 Below is an example page where the Administrator has set Ports1-12 to VLAN Group2 after clicking the Create button. There now exists a VLAN group No.2 with member Ports1-12. When group No.2 was created, all the members in group No.1 are removed ensure correct operation of the VLAN function.

Page 25: Trunking
The GSS-24T2SFP web smart switch provides dynamic failover support within the trunk group. If a port within the trunk group fails, the other ports of the trunk group automatically assume the extra traffic load currently running through the link. -
Page 26: Trunking Rules
2.7.1 Trunking Rules The following rules determine your configuration for port trunking: The attributes of all trunk member ports in Port Configuration, Mirror, Rate Control, 802.1Q VLAN and Port-Based VLAN functions must be the same. All trunk member ports can not be a capture port or monitored port in the Mirror function. If Port1/Port2 is using fiber media and wants to be grouped with ports using copper (Port3 –... - Page 27 When the enabled trunk group is set to disabled, all trunk member ports will be released to ordinary ports and their functions can be configured individually. At that moment, their configuration attributes will be returned to their previous state. The following 3 figures show that the settings of a port while in a trunk group can be reverted back to normal once not in the trunk group any more.
