VLAN configuration

A Virtual LAN (VLAN) is a logical network grouping that limits the broadcast domain, which would allow you to isolate network traffic, so only the members of the same VLAN will receive traffic from the ones of the same VLAN. 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 plugged into the same switch physically.

The switch supports Port-basedand 802.1Q (tagged-based) VLAN. The default configuration of VLAN operation mode is “Disable”.

[NOTE] To reboot the switch when the VLAN mode is changed

Port-based VLAN

Packets can go among only members of the same VLAN group. Note all unselected
