VLAN Mode:
Port-based -
Port-based VLAN is defined by port. Any packet coming in

example, for a port-based VLAN named PVLAN-1 contains
port members Port 1&2&3&4. If you are on the port 1, you

support up to maximal 8 port-based VLAN groups.
Tag-based -
Tag-based VLAN identifies its member by VID. This is
