Express Ethernet Switch LB9217A-R2 & Applicable Modules

Port-based VLAN & Settings

The 17-Port Switch allows up to sixteen port-based VLAN domains. Assign each port to a VLAN group or a couple of VLAN groups according to accessibility needs.

The VLAN setting: follow these steps to assign VLAN groups.

yMove the cursor to VLAN1 ~ 16 column

yMove the cursor and select a port

yPress [SPACE] and show V to the desired port

yPress [ENTER] to apply and save the setting

For example, here we have the port 17 assigned as routing (uplink) port. The port 1 ~ port 16 are divided into five different VLAN groups (VLAN 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5).

VLAN 1: port 1, 2, 3

VLAN 2: port 4, 5, 6

VLAN 3: port 7, 8, 9

VLAN 4: port 10, 11, 12

VLAN 5: port 13, 14, 15, 16, 17

For example, the port 1, 2, and 3 (VLAN 1) can not communicate with the port 4, 5, and 6 (VLAN 2).

The routing (uplink) port setting: follow these steps to have an assigned routing (uplink) port. Then separate the rest each port to a different VLAN group. The rest each port can only uplink through the assigned routing (uplink) port and can’t communicate with each other.

Enter [V] from the Main Menu

Move the cursor to a desired routing (uplink) port

Press [SPACE] and show V to the desired routing (uplink) port

Press [ENTER] to apply and save the setting, then all the other ports will be assigned to each different VLAN group and use the desired port as the routing (uplink) port

For example, here we have the port 17 assigned as routing (uplink) port. The port 1 ~ port 16 are divided into each different VLAN groups. And the user on the port 1 ~ port 16 can uplink through the port 17 only and can not communicate with each other.
