Configure Port-based VLANs
Description
A port-based VLAN allows you to create multiple VLANs each with its
own broadcast domain and member ports. For example, if port 5 is in
VLAN_1 and port 10 is in VLAN_2 the two ports cannot communicate
with each other even though they are part of the same switch. Ports can
be members of only a single port-based VLAN. Any port that is not a
member of a user-defined VLAN is a member of the DEFAULT_VLAN.
VLAN operation mode: Changes the type of VLAN operating on the
switch, or disables VLANs entirely.
Add a port-based VLAN: Creates a port-based VLAN and adds ports
to the VLAN.
Edit/Delete a port-based VLAN: Selects a VLAN to change port
membership in the VLAN, or removes a VLAN from the switch.

NOTE
You can have a maximum of
24 port-based VLANs on the
switch.
VLAN membership can span
between the switches in a
stack. (Ports from any switch
in a stack can be members of a
VLAN.)
