L2 Switch Tab

The Layer 2 Switch Tab provides configurations to the layer 2 switching features on the four Ethernet LAN ports of
the Wireless Router. They include VLAN, port configuration, cable diagnostics, and RADIUS authentication.

VLAN

VLAN Configuration

The Wireless Router supports Port-based VLAN. You can assign each port to one of the four VLANs or VLAN Trunk.
The VLAN tags are attached internally inside the switch. No packets will leave the switch with VLAN tags.

VLANs are broadcast and multicast domains. Broadcast and multicast traffic is transmitted only within the VLAN
in which the traffic is generated. The Wireless Router currently supports only one IP subnet so PCs on different
VLANs cannot communicate with each other. PCs connected to the VLAN Trunk port can be accessed on all
VLANs.

Trunk Port. Select one of the LAN ports to accept traffic from and to all VLANs. The default is None.
