VLAN Setting
A Virtual LAN (VLAN) is a logical network grouping that limits the broadcast
domain, which would allow you to isolate network traffic, so only the members of
the same VLAN will receive traffic from the ones of the same VLAN. 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 plugged into the same switch physically.
VLAN Member Setting (Port Based)
The switch provides port based VLAN configuration. Users can enable the
function via VALN member setting. That is a set of ports allowed to be forwarded
from the source port. The overall number of VLAN groups that this switch can
support is 26.
