2.6.2 VLAN Configuration (Port-based)

The Menu "Port-Based" is for configuration of Port-Based VLAN. It is enabled only when

the VLAN Type is set as "Port-Based".

At each port the user must click on the checkboxes of the ports to which the port is

allowed to switch frames from the configured port. And then click on Apply to retain

newly entered information. The status "Y" shows that the two ports can switch frames

with each other, while the status "-" means no connection is allowed.

Enable / Disable Switch Management:

Enable: The user can manage the Switch as Web/Telnet Client or SNMP Manager via

this port.

Disable: The Switch is not manageable from Web/Telnet Client or SNMP Manager via

this port.

QinQ is intended for service provider to distinguish multiple customers' VLANs. By using

VLAN stacking to add another tag to tagged frames, which then becomes double-

tagged frames, a service provider can manage up to 4,094 VLAN groups with each

group containing up to 4,094 customer VLANs. This function allows a service provider to

provide different services, based on specific VLANs, for many different customers.

A service provider's customers may require a range of VLANs for multiple applications.

The service provider can assign inner VLAN tags on ports for different applications, as

well as an outer VLAN tag for each customer. Therefore, there is no VLAN tag

overlapping among customers, so traffic from different customers is kept separate.
