Port-Based VLAN
Port-based VLAN segregates ports into various groups. Once you define Port Based VLAN groups
only ports that are members of the same VLAN group can communicate with each other. Broadcast,
Multicast and Unicast packets are limited to within their respective ports VLAN group.
The initial VLAN setting page is shown below:
You can add, delete, and modify the port-based VLAN’s based on your particular requirements. The
switch supports
up to 8
port-based VLAN groups for manual entry.
The following pages will describe in detail how to configure port-based VLAN’s.
NOTE:
A
default port-based VLAN entry (No=1)
is initially created by the system. This VLAN
entry contains all ports as members. With all ports as members of VLAN 1, the system will operate
as a normal switch and not block traffic between any ports (VLAN can be regarded as
“disabled”
).
If additional port-based VLANs are enabled then you should remove the required ports from the
default VLAN 1. Conversely, if you want to
“disable”
the port-based VLAN function, re-add all
ports to VLAN 1.
