VLAN Management

A VLAN is a group of ports that can be located anywhere in the network, but communicate as though they belong to the same physical segment..

VLANs help to simplify network management by allowing you to move devices to a new VLAN without having to change any physical connections.. VLANs can be easily organized to reflect departmental groups (such as Marketing or R&D), usage groups (such as e-mail), or multicast groups (used for multimedia applications such as videoconferencing).. You can create up to 256 VLANs on the Switch..

Create VLAN

Single VLAN

To create a single VLAN, enter the VLAN ID and VLAN Name, up to 32 characters long, and click Add..

VLAN ID  ID of configured VLAN (1-4094, no leading zeroes)..

VLAN Name  Name of the VLAN.. (1 to 32 characters)

VLAN Range

To create a range of VLANs, enter the range of the VLAN IDs to be created in to the VLAN Range fields and then click Add Range..

To remove a VLAN or a range of VLANs, select the VLANs in the VLAN list, then click Remove..

VLAN Management > Port Settings

You can configure VLAN behavior for specific interfaces, including the mode, accepted frame type, VLAN identifier (PVID), and ingress filtering..

Mode  Indicates VLAN membership mode for an interface.. (Default: General)

•Access  Is the default setting for all ports.. The port is a member of a single, untagged VLAN..

•Trunk  Specifies a port as an end-point for a VLAN trunk.. A trunk is a direct link between two switches, so the port transmits tagged frames that identify the source VLAN.. Note that frames belonging to the port’s default VLAN (that is, associated with the PVID) are also transmitted as tagged frames..

•General  Specifies a hybrid VLAN interface.. The port may transmit tagged or untagged frames..

Acceptable Frame Type  Sets the interface to accept all frame types, including tagged or untagged frames, or only tagged frames.. When set to receive all frame types, any received frames that are untagged are assigned to the default VLAN.. (Options: All, Tagged, Active; Default: All)

PVID (Port VLAN identifier)  VLAN ID assigned to untagged frames received on the interface.. (Default: 1)

If an interface is not a member of VLAN 1 and you assign its PVID to this VLAN, the interface will automatically be added to VLAN 1 as an untagged member.. For all other VLANs, an interface must first be configured as an untagged member before you can assign its PVID to that group..
