2.5.7. VLAN configuration
A Virtual LAN (VLAN) is a logical network grouping that limits the broadcast domain. It allows you to
isolate network traffic so only members of the VLAN receive traffic from the same VLAN members.
Basically, creating a VLAN from a switch is logically equivalent of reconnecting a group of network
devices to another Layer 2 switch. However, all the network devices are still plug into the same switch
physically.
The 24+2G switch supports port-based, 802.1Q (tagged-based) and protocol-base VLAN in web
management page. In the default configuration, VLAN support is disabling.
Support Port-based VLAN
Packets can only be broadcast among members of the same VLAN group. Note all unselected ports are
treated as belonging to another single VLAN. If the port-based VLAN enabled, the VLAN-tagging is
ignored.
