VLAN Configuration
By default, there are no VLANs set for the switch. In order to configure any of the different types of VLANs, VLANs need to be enabled in the switch using Settings/Advanced/Protocol Enable Settings/VLAN Operational Mode. The following are the choices offered:
Port Based VLANs
This screen shows the current Port Based VLANs configured. To configure new VLANs click the Add button. You can also delete configured VLANs using this screen. To edit a VLAN (change the ports) highlight the VLAN name and then click Edit. There can be up to 256 different port based VLANs configured.
When adding a VLAN this screen allows the configuration of the VLAN. The configuration includes the number of ports, the text name and the Group ID that will belong to the specific VLAN. These VLANs only apply to this switch. The VLANs can be overlapping, meaning that any port can belong to more than one VLAN. One configuration that is common for port based VLANs is to have all the ports on the switch on separate VLANs except for the port that has the server connected to it. This port is then shared by all the VLANs. This enables security between ports, but allows all ports access to the server.
