VLAN Menu
A VLAN is a network of computers behaving as though they are connected to the same
segment, even though their physical location may be on a different segment of a LAN
altogether. VLANs are configured through software rather than hardware, which makes
them extremely flexible.
Some of the advantages of VLANs are:
When a computer is physically moved to another location, it can stay on the same
VLAN without any hardware reconfiguration because VLANs are not limited by
hardware constraints.
Description
Set the priority of each port. The limit given is from 1 – 255. The
lowest number means highest priority. The default priority is set to
128 – the midpoint of this limit
Set the cost assigned to each port. This will determine the route of
information flow. The higher the cost the less suitable the port is to be
a node for the STP.

installed in a PC
Off: the port is connected to a bridged node
