Chapter 3: Software Description

3.2.3 VLAN

A Virtual LAN (VLAN) is a logical network grouping that limits the broadcast domain, which would allow you to isolate network traffic, so only the members of the same VLAN will receive traffic from the members of the same VLAN.

Basically, creating a VLAN from a switch is logically equivalent to reconnecting a group of network devices to another Layer 2 switch. However, all the network devices are still plugged into the same switch physically.

3.2.3.1 Port Segmentation (VLAN) Configuration

•VLAN ID: ID of the configured VLAN (1–4096, no leading zeroes).

•VLAN Configuration List: Lists all the current VLAN groups created for this system. Up to 16 VLAN groups can be defined. VLAN 1 is the default untagged VLAN.
