Configuration > 802.1Q VLAN
A VLAN is a group of ports that can be anywhere in the network, but communicate as though they were in
the same area.
VLANs can be easily organized to reflect department groups (such as R&D, Marketing), usage groups (such
as e-mail), or multicast groups (multimedia applications such as video conferencing), and therefore help to
simplify network management by allowing users to move devices to a new VLAN without having to change
any physical connections.
The IEEE 802.1Q VLAN Configuration page provides powerful VID management functions. The original
settings have the VID as 1, no default name, and all ports as “Untagged”
Rename:
Click to rename the VLAN group.
Delete VID:
Click to delete the VLAN group.
Add New VID:
Click to create a new VID group, assigning ports from 01 to 28 as
Untag
,
Tag
, or
Not
Member
. A port can be untagged in only one VID. To save the VID group, click
Apply.
You may change the name accordingly to the desired groups, such as R&D, Marketing, email, etc.
