| Preset Value | Choose from Port Isolation, All Connected or Customized. | 
| 
 | Port Isolation means that each port (1 to 26) can only communicate with the CPU management | 
| 
 | port and cannot communicate with each other. All incoming ports are selected while only the CPU | 
| 
 | outgoing port is selected. This option is the most limiting but also the most secure. | 
| 
 | All Connected means all ports can communicate with each other, that is, there are no virtual | 
| 
 | LANs. All incoming and outgoing ports are selected. This option is the most flexible but also the | 
| 
 | least secure. | 
| 
 | Select Customized to configure specific  | 
| 
 | the ports that can communicate with each other. For two ports to communicate with each other, | 
| 
 | you must define the incoming and outgoing port for both ports. For example, for (just) ports 3 and | 
| 
 | 5 to form a VLAN, select the ports as shown in Figure  | 
| Incoming | These are the ingress ports; an ingress port is an incoming port, that is, a port through which a | 
| 
 | data packet enters. If you wish to allow two subscriber ports to talk to each other, you must define | 
| 
 | the ingress port for both ports. The numbers in the top row denote the incoming port for the | 
| 
 | corresponding port listed on the left (its outgoing port). CPU refers to the switch management | 
| 
 | port. By default it forms a VLAN with all Ethernet ports. If it does not form a VLAN with a particular | 
| 
 | port then the switch cannot be managed from that port. | 
| Outgoing | These are the egress ports; an egress port is an outgoing port, that is, a port through which a | 
| 
 | data packet leaves. If you wish to allow two subscriber ports to talk to each other, you must define | 
| 
 | the egress port for both ports. CPU refers to the switch management port. By default it forms a | 
| 
 | VLAN with all Ethernet ports. If it does not form a VLAN with a particular port then the switch | 
| 
 | cannot be managed from that port. |
