for tagged packets, tag-aware and tag-unaware network devices can coexist on the
same network.
A switch port can have only one PVID, but can have as many VID as the switch has
memory in its VLAN table to store them.
Because some devices on a network may be tag-unaware, a decision must be made
at each port on a tag-aware device before packets are transmitted - should the
packet to be transmitted have a tag or not? If the transmitting port is connected to a
tag-unaware device, the packet should be untagged. If the transmitting port is
connected to a tag-aware device, the packet should be tagged.
Default VLANs
The Switch initially configures one VLAN, VID = 1, called "default." The factory default
setting assigns all ports on the Switch to the "default". As new VLAN are configured in
Port-based mode, their respective member ports are removed from the "default."
VLAN and Link Aggregation Groups
In order to use VLAN segmentation in conjunction with port link aggregation groups,
you can first set the port link aggregation group(s), and then you may configure VLAN
settings. If you wish to change the port link aggregation grouping with VLAN already
in place, you will not need to reconfigure the VLAN settings after changing the port
link aggregation group settings. VLAN settings will automatically change in
conjunction with the change of the port link aggregation group settings.
Static VLAN Configuration
A Virtual LAN (VLAN) is a logical network grouping that limits the broadcast domain. It
allows you to isolate network traffic so only members of the VLAN receive traffic from
the same VLAN members. Basically, creating a VLAN from a switch is logically
equivalent of reconnecting a group of network devices to another Layer 2 switch.
However, all the network devices are still plug into the same switch physically.
The Managed Switch supports Port-based and 802.1Q (Tagged-based) VLAN in web
management page. In the default configuration, VLAN support is "802.1Q".
