NOTE

You can have only one operation mode active on the switch at a time. Choose port-based, tag- based or MAC-based.

Configuring VLANs

Virtual LANs, or VLANs, provide a way to create a logical network grouping without regard to physical location of the network nodes.

For more information about VLANs, see “Virtual LANs” in Chapter 2.

The two main steps to set up a VLAN with the Web Device Manager are:

Set the switch’s VLAN operation mode.

Configure the type of VLAN you selected.

To set the switch’s VLAN operation mode

1Click the Configure VLAN menu and then click VLAN Operation Mode.

2In the Current VLAN Mode Is box, click the type of VLAN to set up. You can set the 460T switch to use port-based, MAC-based, or tag- based VLANs. See “Virtual LANs” in Chapter 2 for more information about VLAN types.

3ClickSubmit.

4The switch automatically reboots. The switch must be rebooted whenever you change its VLAN operation mode.

After the switch reboots, you can configure the type of VLAN that you selected.
