Chapter 9 VLAN

The following table describes the labels in this screen.

Table 27 Advanced Application > VLAN: Port Based VLAN Setup

LABEL

DESCRIPTION

SettingChoose All connected or Port isolation.
Wizard

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.

 

Port isolation means that each port 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.

 

After you make your selection, click Apply (top right of screen) to display the screens as

 

mentioned above. You can still customize these settings by adding/deleting incoming or outgoing

 

ports, but you must also click Apply at the bottom of the screen.

 

 

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.

 

 

Apply

Click Apply to save your changes to the Switch’s run-time memory. The Switch loses these

 

changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the Save link on the top navigation panel to save

 

your changes to the non-volatile memory when you are done configuring.

 

 

Cancel

Click Cancel to begin configuring this screen afresh.
