Figure 5-6 The VLAN Page

In the VLAN management window, you will see 2 VLANs in the page. To select a certain VLAN, you can do the following:

Press ">>" button to display the next 2 VLANs

Press "<<" button to display the previous 2 VLANs

Press ">>" button to display the last 2 VLANs

Press "<<" button to display the first 2 VLANs

Enter the VLAN index in the "VLAN" edit box then press "Go to" button

You can add, edit and remove port members of each VLAN and then finally press "Apply" button only once to configure the desired VLANs you want.

Note: if you want to set multiple VLANs, we suggest that you set Default VLAN ID for each port first in Ports page.

Trunk

Port trunking is the ability to group several 10/100Base-TX or 100Base-FX ports to increase the bandwidth between this switch and another compatible switch. This is an inexpensive way to increase bandwidth. We define port trunking as the ability to group set of ports (up to 8) within the same module into a single logical link. The port trunk acts as a single link between switches. Multiple trunks may be implemented in this switch, but only one trunk can be created within a module.
