When you activate the Basic Port-Based VLAN mode, all VLANs are added to the switch,
and all ports are made members of VLAN 1. This is the default VLAN in the Basic

In the Basic Port-Based VLAN mode, you can assign each port (other than the uplink
port) to a single VLAN only.
To activate the Basic Port-Based VLAN mode and assign VLANs:

switch, or connected directly to the switch through an Ethernet cable.
2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the switch.
