Support Port-based VLANs

Ethernet frames received on a port are sent only to ports belonging to the

same VLAN group of ports. All ports default belonging to the same VLAN

group. The VLAN information included in Ethernet frames tagged with

VLAN IDs is ignored by the switch in Port Based VLAN mode.

Support Tag-based VLAN (IEEE 802.1Q VLAN)

The IEEE 802.1Q specification is the standard for Port-based Tagging.

Therefore, it is possible to create a VLAN across devices from different switch

suppliers. IEEE 802.1Q VLAN uses a technique to insert a “tag” into the

Ethernet frames. The tag contains a VLAN Identifier (VID) that indicates the

VLAN numbers.
