LACP Port Settings
Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) provides a method to control the bundling of several physical
ports together to form a single logical channel. By configuring the LACP function, the Switch can negotiate
an automatic bundling of links by sending LACP packets to the peer device (also implementing LACP).
To access this page, click L2 Switching > Link Aggregation > LACP Port Settings.

802.1Q VLAN
The 802.1Q VLAN feature allows for a single VLAN to support multiple VLANs. With the 802.1Q feature
you can preserve VLAN IDs and segregate different VLAN traffic.
The 802.1Q VLAN tag feature encapsulates the 802.1Q VLAN tagging within another 802.1Q VLAN tag.
The outer tag is assigned following the AP group, while the inner VLAN ID is assigned dynamically by the
AAA server.
5.7.4.1
VLAN Management
The management of VLANs is available through the VLAN Settings page. Through this page you can add
or delete VLAN listings and add a prefix name to an added entry.
