VLAN CONFIG
Use the
VLAN Config
tab to configure network VLANs. A
VLAN
(
V
irtual
L
ocal
A
rea
N
etwork) is a group of ports on the
switch (or switches) that are configured to pass traffic to one another, but not to ports on any other VLAN. When VLANs are
established, ports that connect switches to switches must be “tagged” to pass all VLAN traffic. See
Appendix 3: VLANs
for
further details on how to use VLANs.
In the VLAN Configuration window, there are three columns:
VLAN #
,
VLAN ID
, and
Device
. By default, the VLAN ID will likely
not have unique names as seen in the example above, but simply labeled “VLAN 1”, “VLAN 2”, etc.
Click on the arrow next to each VLAN to see the Devices (VIA Switches) available for configuration.
Note that every VIA Switch on the network will show up under every listed VLAN. VLAN ranges are configured Globally; it is not
possible to assign a Switch to only one VLAN in this window. At the Subdevice/Port level, VLANs may be assigned as needed.
VLAN Properties such as
IP Address
,
DHCP
and
IGMP
settings are configured per VLAN per Switch. For example, to
configure
VLAN 3
(Audio VLAN) as illustrated above, expand
VLAN 3
and click on the Switch device, and edit its Properties
in the Properties pane. To edit
VLAN 5
on the same switch, expand
VLAN 5
and click on the Switch to edit
VLAN 5
on that
device.
VLAN Properties are described below.
