Configuration Using the Web-based Utility

Admin Key  (Read-only) A channel will only be formed between ports with the same admin key. This only applies to ports located on the same switch.

When you are finished entering the settings above, click Update to apply the settings.

LACP Port Table

This section provides a read-only display of the current LACP settings. For each port on the currently selected unit, this table displays the Port Priority, LACP Timeout, and Admin Key,

After you are finished setting the LACP parameters, click Save Settings to save the settings, or click Cancel Changes to cancel your changes.

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 128 VLANs on the Switch.

VLAN Management > Create VLAN

The Create VLAN screen lets you create and configure global parameters for VLANs.

VLAN Management > 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 the VLAN being configured (2-4093, 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 their IDs in the VLAN Range fields and then click Add Range.

VLAN Table

This lists the ID, name, and status of each configured VLAN, and the total number of VLANs. The VLAN status is either Static (user-defined VLAN) or Default (default VLAN).

To remove a VLAN or a range of VLANs, select the VLANs in the VLAN Table, then click Delete.

VLAN Management > Port Settings

The Port Settings screen allows you to manage the ports in a VLAN. The port default VLAN ID (PVID) is configured from the Port Settings screen. All untagged packets arriving at a VLAN port are tagged with the port’s PVID.

VLAN Management > Port Settings

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

Unit No.  The number of the unit that you are managing. Port  The number of the port.
