5.4.7 VLAN Configuration
A Virtual LAN ( VLAN) is a logical network grouping that limits the broadcast domain. It allows you to
isolate network traffic so only members of the VLAN receive traffic from the same VLAN members.
Basically, creating a VLAN from WGSD-1020 is logically equivalent of reconnecting a group of net-
work device to another Layer 2 Switch. However, the entire network device is still plug into the same
Switch physically.
WGSD-1020 support port-based(refer to section 5.4.7.1) and protocol-based VLAN (refer to section
5.4.7.2) in web management page. In the default configuration VLAN is enable and all ports belong to
the default VLAN ( VID=1).
5.4.7.1 Port-based VLANs ( IEEE 802.1Q VLAN)
Port-based Tagging rule VLAN is an IEEE 802.1Q standard. Therefore, it
’
s possible to create a VLAN
across devices from different Switch venders. IEEE 802.1Q VLAN use a technique to insert a
”
Tag
”
into the Ethernet frames. Tag contains a VLAN identifier (VID) that indicates the VLAN numbers.
Note: You can disable/enable VLAN function and choose VLAN operation Mode from Switch Set-
tings.
