Port Management Tab - Create VLAN
Use this screen to create a Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN), a group of ports that can be located anywhere in
the network, but they communicate as though they belong to the same physical segment. VLANs can be easily
organized to reflect departmental groups (such as sales or engineering), usage groups (such as e-mail), or
multicast groups (such as users of multimedia applications, including videoconferencing).
Create VLAN
The Router supports up to 15 VLANs, excluding the default VLAN.
Enable VLAN. The default is disabled. Click
Enable VLAN
to use the VLAN feature.
When the VLAN feature has been enabled, the default VLAN ID 1 will be displayed and applied. You can create a
single VLAN or create multiple VLANs by range.
VLAN ID. Enter a VLAN ID number from 2 to 4094. (The default VLAN ID 1 is assigned to untagged frames received
on the interface.) Click the
Add VLAN
button to add the single VLAN ID.
VLAN ID Range. Enter the starting and ending port numbers of the VLAN ID Range. Then click the
Add Range
button.
VLAN ID and Description. All of the VLAN IDs that you have set up and the VLAN descriptions you have defined for
each VLAN on the
VLAN Membership
screen will be applied and displayed on the
Create VLAN
screen.
Delete VLAN. To delete a VLAN, select it from the list and click the
Delete VLAN
button.
