2.6 VLAN Setting
2.6.1 Group VLAN Setting
This page allows user to define Virtual LAN (VLAN) membership by group of
device’s ports. Any individual port can be a member of a VLAN group. A VLAN group
is
basically a broadcast domain, but any port is not limited to belong to only one VLAN group. The
forwarding rule is that packets from the source port will be only forwarded to destination port within
the same VLAN group. That is, a broadcast/multicast packet will be forwarded to all ports within
the same VLAB group(s) of the source port except the source port itself. A unicast packet will be
forwarded to the destination port only if the destination port is in the same VLAN group as
the source port. Organize your VLAN groups in this page.
Each row is a group, any individual port can be a member of a VLAN group, and each
group comprises at least two members. Source port is mark “
\
” and destination is “
V
”.
2.6.2 Multi to 1 Setting
The original setting of the VLAN Group will be cleared and replaced by this special
structure if you enable this function. On the other hand, if you set the VLAN Group again, this
special structure will be cleared and replaced by your latest setting.
