5.6.1.3 Port-based VLAN
A port-based VLAN basically consists of its members—ports, which means the VLAN is created by grouping the selected
ports. This method provides the convenience for users to configure a simple VLAN easily without complicated steps.
Packets can go among only members of the same VLAN group. Note all unselected ports are treated as belonging to
another single VLAN. If the port-based VLAN enabled, the VLAN-tagging is ignored. The port-based VLAN function allows
the user to create separate VLANs to limit the unnecessary packet flooding; however, for the purpose of sharing resource,
a single port called a common port can belongs to different VLANs, which all the member devices (ports) in different
VLANs have the permission to access the common port while they still cannot communicate with each other in different
VLANs.
