Advanced Configuration
VLAN Setup
Use the VLAN Setup menu to create VLAN groups for the Wireless and Ethernet LANs. For ADSL accounts using multiple ATM VCs, VLANs can be created and customized for
each separate VC.
VLAN Group Setting
Use the VLAN Index menu to choose a number for the VLAN group. To make sure
additional VLAN groups use unique index numbers, the menu will automatically select a
new index number for configuration after apllying the VLAN group settings.
Click to select the member ports of each VLAN group for
Ethernet
ports and
WLAN
interface and the
ATM VCs
ports for each VLAN. Any port may be specified as
Tagged
.
Packets that are tagged (are carrying the 802.1Q VID information) can be transmitted
from one 802.1Q compliant network device to another with the VLAN information intact.
This allows 802.1Q VLANs to span network devices (and indeed, the entire network, if all
network devices are 802.1Q compliant).
Select the
Tagged
option to enable tagging for the port. Ports with tagging enabled will
put the VID number, priority and other VLAN information into the header of all packets
that flow into and out of it. If a packet has previously been tagged, the port will not alter
the packet, thus keeping the VLAN information intact. Other 802.1Q compliant devices
on the network to make packet-forwarding decisions can then use the VLAN information
in the tag.
VLAN Group is enabled by default. VLAN Groups can be disabled without changing the
previously configured VLAN arrangement. To disabled VLAN Groups click the
Enable
VLAN Group
box to remove the check mark.
Click the
ADD/Apply
to apply the settings.
