VLAN Settings
A VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) is a network of devices that are joined into one broadcast domain,
even if the devices are not physically connected to each other. VLANs are useful for creating smaller
networks within a larger LAN; for example, a legal department in a company might be on its own VLAN
because it has sensitive documents that only certain personnel should have access to. The smaller
networks that VLANs create do not require any additional physical resources, such as additional cabling.
Your px6-300d Network Storage can be configured to support VLANs by connecting the corresponding
physical NIC to the trunk port of an L2/L3 switch.
VLAN is configured for each NIC, but it is not supported on bonded NICs. If a NIC is bonded, you must
unbind it first to configure it for a VLAN.
Adding a VLAN
1. To add a VLAN, expand the VLAN Settings section of a NIC.
2. Click
Add VLAN.
3. Enter a VLAN ID value between 2 and 4094. You can enter up to 4 VLAN IDs for each NIC. A
VLAN can obtain its network settings from DHCP, or you can uncheck DHCP and enter the IP
address, subnet mask, and gateway manually.
4. Refer to
Network Settings
on page 16 for information about jumbo frames.
5. Click Apply to save your changes.
Deleting a VLAN
In the VLAN Settings section click Delete to delete the VLAN.
