VLAN Settings
This page allows you to create and delete VLANs (Virtual LANs) and to
change the VLAN membership and behaviour of individual ports. VLANs
are powerful, but can be difficult to set up properly. Each row of the table
corresponds to one port or trunk; trunked ports cannot be configured
individually.
Introduction to VLANs
VLANs are logical partitions of the physical LAN. You can use VLANs to
increase network performance or improve internal network security.
If the network has adequate performance and security for your current
needs, it is recommended that you leave the VLAN settings in the default
configuration. The default configuration is as follows:
• All ports are members of VLAN 1
• The switch management interface is on VLAN 1 (this cannot be
changed)
• All ports have a Port VLAN ID (PVID) of 1
• All ports can send and receive both VLAN-tagged and untagged packets
(that is, they are hybrid ports)
