(LAN) is for connecting a computer or similar device directly to the router with an Ethernet cable.
Link

Ethernet
Port
Group
Editor A Port Group represents a logical grouping of Ethernet ports. Any computers physically connected to ports in a
group will be allowed to freely communicate with each other.
NOTE:
When
a
port
group
uses
the
LAN mode
you
must
separately
ensure
that
this
logical
interface
is
attached
to
a
Local
IP Network
in
the
top
panel
of
this
page.
Port
Group
ID: The Group ID field provides a reference to this grouping of ports to be used in other parts of the router configuration. For example,
this ID is referenced in the Local
IP Networks configuration to attach this logical group of Ethernet ports with a network configuration. Use a
simple short text phrase to describe this group, such as "main", "guestports", "backup_wan", etc. This must be unique.
Select one or more ports to create a port group that you can subsequently attach to a network in the Local
Network
Editor. Double-click on any
of the Ethernet ports shown on the left in the Available section to move them to the Selected section on the right (or highlight a port and click the
+ button). To deselect an Ethernet port, double-click on an interface in the Selected section (or highlight the port and click the – button).
VLAN Interfaces A virtual local area network, or VLAN, functions as any other physical LAN, but it enables computers and other devices to be
grouped together even if they are not physically attached to the same network switch.
To enable a VLAN, select a VID (virtual LAN ID) and a group of Ethernet ports through which users can access the VLAN. Then go back up to the
Local
Network
Editor to attach your new VLAN to a network. To use a VLAN, the VID must be shared with another router or similar device so that
multiple physical networks have access to the one virtual network.
Click Add to create a new VLAN interface.
VLAN Editor VID: An integer value that is the Virtual LAN ID.
Ethernet
Group: Select the LAN port(s) with which you want to associate the VLAN ID from a dropdown list. Your Ethernet group must be created
separately under Ethernet
Port
Configuration.
Click Submit to save your configured VLAN.
