6.18 VLAN

configuration

A Virtual LAN (VLAN) is a logical network grouping that limits the broadcast domain,

which would allow you to isolate network traffic, so only the members of the same

VLAN will receive traffic from the ones of the same VLAN. Basically, creating a VLAN

on a switch is logically equivalent of reconnecting a group of network devices to

another Layer 2 switch. However, all the network devices are still plugged into the

same switch physically.

This switch supports Port-based and 802.1Q (tagged-based) VLAN. The default

configuration of VLAN operation mode is “Disable”.
