2.3.2 VLAN Settings
A VLAN is an administrative grouping of network devices that is logically segmented, by
functions, project teams, or applications rather than a physical or geographical basis.
VLANs provide the segmentation services traditionally provided by routers in LAN
configurations. For example, all workstations and servers used by a particular workgroup
team can be connected to the same VLAN, regardless of their physical connections to
the network. In this way, you can use VLANs to reconfigure the network through
software rather than physically unplugging and moving devices or wires.
Clicking the VLAN link under Network Setup in the left pane of the Configurator
displays the VLAN Settings page. Use this page to select the security settings for the TR-
WMX-3.5. Figure 2-5 shows this page, and Table 2-4 describes the fields and buttons on
it.
The VLAN Settings page is divided into four areas:
The top area lets you enable and configure the management VLAN.
The middle area lets you define rules for the management VLAN.
Buttons below the rules area let you add, edit, delete, and update a management VLAN.
The bottom of the page shows the VLAN rules that have been defined.
