VLAN Ports

Each of the switch’s ports are identified by a port button. The port but- ton contains a group number and a port number. (The group number represents the device — in this case the SuperStack II Switch 1000 — and is always labeled “1”).

Each port button also has a corresponding real-time LED status box, which displays activity on the port.
