5-4-6-4. MAC Filtering5-4-7. VLAN configuration
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 to physically
connecting a group of network devices to another Layer 2 switch.
However, all the network devices are still plugged into the original switch.
The SmartGST-801M supports port-based and protocol-base VLAN in
the Web Management page.
NOTE: The default VLAN cannot be deleted.
Support Port-based VLANs (IEEE 802.1Q VLAN)
Port-based Tagging rule VLAN is an IEEE 802.1Q specification standard.
It is possible to create a VLAN across devices from different switch
vendors. IEEE 802.1Q VLAN uses a technique to insert a tag into the
Ethernet frames. Tags contain a VLAN Identifier (VID) that indicates the
VLAN numbers.
