24.4.1 Port-based VLAN Setup

You use menu 3.6 to control whether or not the ZyXEL Device sends layer-2 traffic (MAC
addresses) between LAN ports. For example, if LAN port 1 and LAN port 2 are connected to
different departments, you might not want the ZyXEL Device to broadcast traffic to both
networks. In this case, you should disable the connection between these ports. These
departments then have to communicate with each other using IP addresses, instead of MAC
addresses.

From the main menu, enter 3 to open Menu 3 - LAN Setup and select sub-menu 6.

ports.
