¾ VLAN: Enable or disable this function. Virtual LAN (VLAN) is a group of devices on one or 
more LANs that are configured so that they can communicate as if they were attached to the 
same LAN, when in fact they are located on a number of different LAN segments. Because 
VLANs are based on logical instead of physical connections, it is very flexible for user/host 
management, bandwidth allocation and resource optimization. If you want to active this 
function, this function must be enabled.  
) Note: 
It is not allowed to disable the VLAN with Ethernet Connection enabled.
