A VLAN is a group of ports that can be anywhere in the network, but communicate as though they were in
the same area.
VLAN > 802.1Q VLAN
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 Settings window provides powerful VID management functions. The original settings
have the VID as 1, VLAN Name as default, and all ports as Untagged.
