Adding Port interfaces

Once you have created a VLAN entr y you must associate it with a por t inter face. This inter face may be either a
physical por t, such as USB or Ethernet, or a Network ID (SSID) of a wireless LAN. If you have a Netopia Router
model that offers Netopia’s VGx technology, you can also associate a VLAN with each of the physical Ethernet
managed switch por ts.

When setting up a VLAN, typically you will add one or more physical por ts, such as an Ethernet por t or a
wireless SSID, and make the por ts routable by specifying Primary LAN as the VLAN Network. To make a set of
VLANs non-routable, the Primary LAN por t must be included in at least one VLAN and must be excluded from
any VLANs that are non-routable.

Note: Beginning with Firmware Version 8.5, you can associate two VLANs, one of which is 802.1x
authenticated and the other is not, with the same por t. This allows you to have authenticated access for
PCs on the wired-or wireless LAN to non-authenticated devices such as print ser vers.

Return to the VLAN Configuration screen, select Display/Change VLAN, and from the pop-up menu, select the
VLAN ID to be modified.

The Display/Change VLAN screen appears.
