4.3.3 Viewing and Configuring Ports by VLAN
A Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) is a switched network segmented by function or application rather than a traditional
LAN segmentation (based on physical location). VLANs allow a greater level of flexibility and enable changes to the
network infrastructure without physically disconnecting network equipment.
To view VLAN by Port information:
1. Select Network > Layer 2 Virtual LANs from the main menu tree.
Name Displays a read-only field and with the name of the Ethernet to which the VLAN is
associated.
Mode Use the drop-down menu to select the mode. It can be either:
• Access – This Ethernet interface accepts packets only form the native VLANs. If this
mode is selected, the Allowed VLANs field is unavailable.
• Trunk –The Ethernet interface allows packets from the given list of VLANs you can add
to the trunk.
Native VLAN Use this field to change the tag assigned to the native VLAN.
Allowed VLANs This section has the following 2 options (and is only available when Trunk is selected
from the Mode drop-down menu):
• No VLANs – Select this option if you do not wish to add any additional VLANs.
• Selected VLANs – Select this option if you wish to add additional VLANs.
