B&B Electronics EIR505-XX manual Vlan configuration, Port-based Vlan

VLAN configuration

A Virtual LAN (VLAN) can be thought of as a broadcast domain that exists within a switch or a defined set of switches. By grouping switch ports into VLANs, traffic flooding is limited since devices can only communicate directly with devices belonging to the VLAN. Creating a VLAN from a switch is the logical equivalent of reconnecting a group of devices to another Layer 2 switch. However, the network devices retain their same physical connection. The EIR505 series switches support port-based and 802.1Q (tagged-based) VLAN. In the default configuration, the VLAN option is disabled.

VLAN Configuration interface

Port-based VLAN

With port-based VLAN, the port is assigned to a VLAN. Therefore all devices attached to a given port should be members of the same VLAN. As with other VLAN configurations, the packets forwarded using this method do not leak into other VLAN domains on the network. After the port has been assigned to a VLAN, devices on the port cannot send to or receive from devices in other VLANs without the intervention of another layer 3 device or the ability to tag the data packet with a specific PVID.
