5.3 VLAN Setup

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 GSW-2416SF switch supports Port-Base VLAN setting in web management page. In the default configuration, VLAN support is “disable”.
