Port Based Configuration
Port Based Virtual LAN configuration assigns ports on the selected switch to a Virtual LAN
Group. The number of VLANs that can be created is limited to the number of ports on the
switch. The Basic Port Based VLAN Configuration page is designed to help you to partition
your network into different segments. Ports with the same ID are grouped into the same
VLAN group. If all the VLAN groups share the same uplink to the Internet or servers, enter
'all' in the VLAN Group field for the port that you want to use for the uplink.
