VID associate with the MAC address.

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 other members of the same VLAN group. Basically, creating a VLAN on a switch is
the equivalent of reconnecting a group of network devices to another Layer 2 switch.
However, all the network devices are still plugged into the same switch.
The SmartGST-
2402M supports port-
based, 802.1Q
(tagged-based), and
protocol-based VLAN
in the web
management page.
